I have two parties up to the 8th Chamber in the Black Raven Monastry.
In one party the Half-Orc Fighter11/Barbarian1 was able to complete the Immolation Chamber on the second attempt but the Half-Orc Barbarian9/Fighter4 in the other party has been unable to come anywhere near finishing off the second monk after more than ten attempts. In the end my evil second party killed off all the monks in the Monastry to obtain the key.

The thing is these two fighters appear very similar, both have STR =21 and Improved Criticals (although the F11/B1 has DEX16 and AXE*** where as the B9/F4 has DEX14 and Hammer***) yet they seem to have vastly different capabilities against the brass monks.

Is the major difference due to AXE vs HAMMER damage ?
