Monks are at their best with their fists, but that doesn't mean they're limited to their fists. You can use any 1-handed weapon that a Thief can use--although the only one that'll kill Trolls (that I can think of offhand, anyway) is the Sword of Flame+1 for sale in the Copper Coronet.

You don't want to walk all the way back just for 1 sword? That's why there's a "softer" version of soloing: You're allowed to take other NPCs, but only on their specific NPC quests. For instance, your Monnk can run around kicking ass & taking names, while Nalia follows right behind and point-blanks a Fire Arrow into the ear of each fallen Troll. After you're done with de'Arnise, it's goodbye Nalia.

Monks are stuck with brute strength for opening things. Better buy that Girdle, or some Potions.....
