My favourite character class in 'old skool' AD&D was always the monk. Started off really bad - no AC dexterity bonus, no armour etc, etc. I was really glad to see it brought back in BGII.

However I seem to be in a minority of one. I've scanned loads of posts but none seem to rate Monks as one of the best classes. My question is are they worth having as a main character? I have just started a new game (nearly finished Chapter 2), and I want to know whether its going to be worth carrying on.

Although its been pretty tough so far, it looks like Monks get really tough later on (high MR, low AC, loads of attacks etc). There must be a reason why no-one talks about them much.
