I was thinking of starting a game as a monk because ive never used one yet. I don't know whether it would be worth it or not. If anyone has used one so far I'de appreciate hearing your critique of playing as a monk. I know what the abilities are, but how does that transfer into game play. It is pretty cool, or is it just kind of a waste? Thanks in advance to any that take the time to answer.

Well, just realize your monk won't be that good early in BG2, but will certainly end up as one of the best possible characters one is able to play with!
 I'm playing one now in my latest game and he's finally starting to become an interesting character (level 13 or something like that), with fists that are considered +2. ------------------ Not a member of any clan and is cool with that.

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. ------------------  "Life is what happens while you are busy making other plans." - Lennon |

Think of it this way....
You're sitting in a hut on a mountaintop somewhere meditating on the meaning of life. Of course, you've shaved your head bald and live a life of chastity. Money and material goods are meaningless in your existance. In your spare time, you practice some martial arts, merely to completely intwine your body and mind in one great philosophy of nature. You are a monk. (Dungeon Master Tehmpus' description of the monk class) ------------------ Tehmpus Thales the permanently InSaNe |

I would say that a monk is the way to go. His fighting, even early on, is pretty good (at higher levels he's excellent), and his special abilities make him (in my opinion) the best fighter all around. Between stunning blows and all of his immunities, there is no downside.

I'm going thru my first game as a monk, and I must say the monk gets so powerful after lvl 15 or so that 90% of my game is practically solo with the rest of my party acting as packmules. At level 20 he's immune to normal weapons and with the right eqpt., magic resistance of 80%. Speed and power personified.
