RFS-81 (I call him Rufus) has joined us and, since I've never played a monk before in any RPG, I'd sure like a little advice.

* I note he has polearm skill and can use a sling. Does he use weapons effectively, or does he fight better empty-handed?

* What about armor? I gave him robes, but maybe he fights better naked as a jaybird?

* I see in the manual that monks start gaining Psi sspells after the fifth level, but he doesn't seem to. On one hand, it does make sense that an android can't do magic. On the other hand, in a land of magic, why not? On the third hand (all us dwarves from Barsoom have three hands) why don't I just ask my Ironworks friends?
