Note that I said getting round the defences, rather than going through them.

As for saves, great, but not every spell allows a saving throw [img]smile.gif[/img]
As for items, we were considering a magic-free situation, weren't we? The only unenchanted item a monk can use to any good effect is the dual-wielded kama for increased attacks.

But you have to do that too to beat the Monk.

I agree with Legolas in that a spellcaster would beat a monk... It's just a question of which spellcaster beats which.

Legolas, I'd offer to settle this like gentlepersons, except I only have a level 20 sorc.

Can you get a monk/sorc combo?

I've not been playing the game long and I'm not 100% on the 3rd ed. levelling rules yet.

It's allowed... The only problem I foresee with that is the distribution of stats. A Monk should have high Wisdom and Dexterity (with other points going to places like Strength and Constitution) while a sorc should have high Charisma (with other points going towards Dexterity). It's doable, it's just probably not the most efficient combination out there.

imho it's not that hard to make a pretty good monk/sorc, it may be a little slow in the beginning until spells like cat's grace, owl's wisdom, eagle's splendor, are aquired, otoh there are a lot of buffs at 2nd level that would be helpful, and for the first 20 levels of sorc you're limited to 5 2nd level spells known. (which could give you 4-5 good buffs, str, dex, con, wis, cha) but you'd not have other good 2nd lev spells.

monk / wiz may make more sense, cha could be left at minimum, and the higher int allows for some helpful skills, concentration, spellcraft, lore, tumble, w/ some left for heal & stealth skills, maybe disicipline too. (also allows for either elf or gnome races w/o penalty)
