A human similarly constructed would have 2 less in Wis and Cha, so he'd have 1 AC point less and 1 saving throw bonus point less. But, he'd also have an extra level, an extra feat, 4 more skill points at 1st level and one more per level thereafter. I don't think that qualifies as stinking at all [img]smile.gif[/img]
Also the dual is a little weird to me, the other Monk stats would really suffer with a 20 in Cha - and the Monk has amazing saves as it is, he doesn't need a paladin level to help them out, seems like saving throw overkill to me, which will come at the expense of combat effectiveness (you'd have to skimp on str and/or dex, both of which are vital to a Monk when he fights).

How does a monk SUFFER from having a good cha? Nobody ever SUFFERS from it, its a nice benefit for 1 or MAYBE 2 chars. This monk is my 'spokes-person', so she needs that 20. Also, monks don't need strength that badly (especially in the REAL 3rd edition rules with weapon finesse (unarmed), and my monk has 18 dex. A deep gnome monk is NOT good as a spokes person though... just think of all that ugly, grey skin. heh heh
The only benefit I've ever found for being a human is the bonus feat. Of course, having a bonus to wis and cha outweighs this for a monk/paladin.
Don't forget the ability to heal 5 damage every day.
Monks saves at low levels aren't anything specialy amazing (like all low level characters), so the bonus +5 to each from the paladin level is insanely useful. She's very handy for hanging around in an entangled or webbed area.
