I found the monk to be an exceptional class, overbalanced even. They move fast, they get many attacks per round, they hit for a lot of damage, they get a high natural AC. They can't be diseased or slowed, they get lay on hands, they get bonuses to all their saves, they can deflect missiles and stun enemies with a punch. Later, their fists become +3 weapons, they are immune to non-magic weapons, and they get an instant-kill move. I don't know what the guy above me was smoking, but monks are one of the best classes in the game, and not only can a level 40 monk kill a level 18 kensai, but a level 18 monk can kill a level 40 kensai, and in one punch, too.
