The only reason to invest in Speed with a Monk is if nobody else will be casting Haste. Dex first, for Reflextion, and Str for damage; then Sen for aim and initiative; and Vit for Stam and HP. Or, in a smaller party, 2 each in Sen, Vit and Pie, which gets you both Stam and SP. In fact, with only 2 or 3 players, there're so many levelups you can start with 2 each in Dex, Str and Vit if you want to max all three before the game gets real hectic. (With a Hobbit, if you put all you can when creating in Str, Vit, Dex, it only takes to level 20 to max Dex with 2 pts/level)
But if the Monk is your Haster, then you gotta start with Speed, which makes a Felpurr better: You can load all your Creation points into Vit, Spd and Dex; then on levelups, 3/level in Spd maxes it in only 11 levels, and Dex in 14, leaving you plenty of time to build Str, Vit and Sen. (i usually start with only 2 pts in Spd and 1 in Str when i do this, the Spd maxes in 16 that way, and Str doesn't stay so far behind)
