I have a Monk in my party and rarely use weapons (Except ranged when she leaves the middle of the fight). Hide and move silently are very good for monks. Also, your monk will not be very powerful until around level 9. Before lvl 9, I would say that my monk was about the weakest character (except that she was my only character that could sneak ahead and report how the enemy was set up). Now, at around lvl 12, she might be my most powerful character.

Regarding armor -- nothing, not even robes are allowed, unless of course you don't want the WIS AC bonus. But, there are some good AC boosting bracers that the Monk can wear and that don't help other characters because the AC boost is an armor bonus.

I wouldn't waste Ambidex and two-weapon fighting on a Monk.
