If the monk is only at 1 swing 1 attack, raise him a little more, or consider putting less in strength and more in dex.

Normally when i take a monk he is attacking at least 4 and sometimes 8 times a round while my samurai is still on 1 (+1 for bloodlust) and 1 off-hand (quite weak) per round. Plus the monk tends to have better chance to hit/penetrate.

The damage is vaguely comparable until the dex/spd/skill extra swings/attacks start to come in, when the monk just pulls away because he gets them with both hands and the +1 swing of bloodlust goes from doubling attacks down to maybe 1/3 extra (with 3 swings base). Sam will get bigger hits when he connects and doesnt do 1-2-3 damage, but monk is dealing 10-20 damage 7-8 times a round at mid level.
