My monk is a badass....
+4 fists, +4 to damage and thaco with gauntlets, -16 armor class, total resistance to magic, poison and other stuff, 200+ hit points, 10 greater whirlwinds and lots of other great special moves, 4.5 attacks per round... he's the best fighter type around. The only thing I'd compare to him is a dual weilding ranger, and then only if you get his resistances up and have really good stats and the crom fayr.
------------------
I'm not sure how your monk has 200+ HP. Here's what I figure:
Constitution above 16 will not affect a monk so for the first 9 levels his HP will be as follows:
9*(8+2)=90HP
The max level for a monk is 40, so he will gain another +2 HP for every level after 9 to 40 therefore 31*2=62HP. Add this to the previous and you get 152HP. Since you're not using the bracers that give +15HP for monks, the only other item that grants the most HP is the pale green loun stone which grants +10% HP, so 10% of 152 = 15HP giving a grand total of 167 HP!!!

Also, you quote 4.5 attacks per round and a monk stops gaining attacks after 4 per round. 4.5 is possible using the gauntlets of extradordinary specialisation but you are using the gauntlets of crushing.

I'm not calling you a liar it's just that I've just finished with my monk and the stats are fresh in my mind.

Unless of course I've missed something.......................
