Never misjudge them. Can't haste em, to fast to be hasted. Magic resistance,stunning blow, and I'd say make em wield a katana, for the awesome katana (Forgot name) by the Slavers Compound in the Temple district (Also known as the Guarded Compound building). They're nasty, wicked awesome, you'll love em!!!!


The name of the sword is the Celestial Fury, possiby the best weapon in SoA (not sure about ToB, don't have it yet). Here's the stats on that weapon:

Celestial Fury, Katana +3

Combat Abilities
Resounding Blow
Opponent was save vs.spell or be stunned each time the weapon strikes.
10% (I think 10&) chance on successful hit to deal out additional 20 points of electrical damage.

Cast Lightning Strike once per day
Cast Call Lightning once per day

Damage: 1d10+3
THAC0: +3 bonus
Weight: 6
Speed: 3 (?)
Proficiency Type: Katana
Not usable by:
Mage
Cleric
Druid

The weird thing about Monks is that while they may use Katanas, the can't gain proficiency in them. And the penalties for non-weapon proficiency still apply... Strange don't you think? However, when a monk gets to high levels, they make Katana's look weak!
