Don't forget Constitution for the monk. You only have 8 hps per level plus con bonus. The Toughness feat is a good choice for the monk.

A lot of people have suggested a High strength for the Monk along with a High Dex and the weapon finesse feat. The choice of how to distribute stat points for a monk has been widely debated in this and the SoU forum. I would check out some of those threads. [img]smile.gif[/img]

For a fighter, be aware that a high dex will be wasted with Heavy or Medium armors, as those armor types cap out the maximum AC bonus you get from dex. If you are looking for a heavy tank, then consider capping your dex at 12 (or 13 if you want a particular feat) and moving the points into constitution.

Yes, you do get additional stat points - one point every four levels starting at 4th level.

And yes, there are TONS of items that will add substantially to your stats.
