Originally posted by Jon Irenicus: One tip on the Monk, DONT ever let him use a weapon in combat. He really sucks when using weapons, only use it when necessary (like killing trolls with Flame Tougue after knocking it down). ANother one is try and max out ur Stealth points, for it can become really useful when assasinating someone (like backstabbing).

I disagree. The Scarlet Ninja-to is a Monk only weapon, gives an extra 1/2 attack per round on top of their unarmed attack rate, and deals poison damage (which also kills trolls).
Only problem with it is that there is a save vs. the poison damage; but it is still better than bare hands (even for a monk [img]smile.gif[/img] )
Also, AFAIK Monks don`t have a backstab multiplyer. This doesn`t make stealth entirely useless though (do monks HAVE stealth ?? *flips open manual*), and I agree with you on maxing them out, you get an extra bit of time before having to rely on your MR in multi spellcaster fights [img]smile.gif[/img]
