Dundee, with Improved Invisibility you'd still be unable to target a monk with spells. anyway, you're assuming the monk would actually attack the planetar. why bother, it's not like it can even hit him (too much). I had a monk with -18 AC. and the monk is also a lot faster than a planetar, meaning he can always outrun it.
also, with Greater Whirlwind he can kill the planetar in far less than a round, immediately turning invisible after it and the sorcerer/mage would have to have excelent timing to cast off a Time Stop before the monk is invisible again...

anyways, the monk can play the run-around for the four rounds it takes for PfMW to expire, than attack the spellcaster with a weapon that does elemental damage (that goes through stoneskin). with GW it doesn't matter he's not specialised with it.

now, I'm not saying monks are better than mages or sorcerers. in general I believe a spellcaster can kick serious but out of any warrior type. but I'm just trying to demonstrate that with proper strategy a warrior can outsmart a spellcaster.

edit: lol, I just read what DM of FAoIW wrote in the last post... using a Protection from Magic scroll on the spellcaster, haha. that is such a wonderfully brilliant idea

you're a genius DM of FAoIW
