Having gotten a little bored with EQ lately, I reloaded BG2 and after reading here I started a solo monk.
At first it was a little tough, but monks gain power quickly, and as a solo character I also gained exp VERY fast. I had to use the exp cap remover by the end of the 2nd chapter. At level 20 or so when you can no longer be hit by normal weapons the game changes alot. It's fun to walk into a room full of baddies and leave the keyboard to take a 5 min break and come back with no damage done.
I think you max out at 4 hand to hand attacks per round and fists max out at 1-20 damage (considered +3 weapons at level 15). Monks also move fast, gaining a faster movement rate as they advance in levels. And the abilities are very nice. Stunning blow (save vs spell) stuns an opponent letting you beat the tar out of them while taking no damage; and Quivering palm is an insta kill ability (save vs. spell).
Slight spoiler.

Shadow Dragon - one hit with quivering palm. Dead. I was very impressed.
