Shamelessly I am here to promote said monk class further. The monk is basically a fighter, but subtly so, coupled with a good team, the monk becomes lovingly devastating.
If there had to be only one thing that makes the monk invaluable it is the following. The monk gets improved evasion, which makes it practically untouched by area effect spells (seeing as it has brilliant saving checks as well).
What does this mean?
Move the monk as a decoy into any nice open space, enemies come running towards him/her; blast off a number of area effect spells on top of the monk. Result: monk stands there laughing whilst your enemies are stuck, fireballed, arrowed from a distance, asleep, lighting bolted, whatever.
Brilliant.
Or...have the monk hide, move up to the most juiciest enemy, use stunning attack, stun the enemy, have all your other fighters quickly run up and pummel enemy into pieces whilst your wizards, etc mop up the rest.
Or...the monk is VERY fast. Run the bigger enemies into circles whilst all the other chars pick em off from a distance.
Or...a particular enemy spellcaster causing you trouble....no problem....the monk attacks so fast that the poor spellcaster's spell fizzles all the time. (mostly anyhow)
Anyhow, you get the picture
