Yup, lots of cool parties to come up with to be sure! I did add a Gray Dwarf Barbarian. I normally don't like that sort of thing; I guess that's why I picked it!
My monk does have an axe for now. It seems a bit better than nothing.

It would be hard to use only ranged weapons when soloing. As far as long sword goes, I spent two feats on it b/c he was leveling so fast, I didn't know really what else to take for a solo Monk. Besides there are some really good long swords throughout the game.

It just doesn't seem right though, a monk with a sword...

I totally agree, but there again, I started out playing from an RP perspective, but the invincibility of my character got the best of me. For the most part, once I got to the Ice Palace, I was using only fists except when battling creatures that took more damage from types other than bludgeoning. It was either fist, 2 handed sword, dagger (for piercing), or some magical item that caused fire damage or whatnot.

I think I'm in the same situation as before. All of a sudden I can't lvl up in monk anymore. I think it's 'cos I started as Wizard, then went to monk and then added a wizard lvl again. BLAHH!!

Monk Orders

Below are the three orders a monk chooses from when taking a level. A monk who multiclasses to a class other than monk or their order's favored class will never be allowed to advance in that monk class again.

Monk of the Old Order
Members of the Old Order do not worship any particular deity, but are fond of philosophical debates and introspection.

Special Order Ability:
Can multiclass to rogue without losing the ability to advance in the monk class.
Monk of the Broken Ones
Members of the Order of the Broken Ones venerate Ilmater, god of suffereing. They strive to endure the pain of their training as well as the pain of others.

Special Order Ability:
Can multiclass to Painbearer of Ilmater (cleric) without losing the ability to advance in the monk class.
Monk of the Dark Moon
Members of the Order of the Dark Moon worship Shar, goddess of darkness and loss. They use their monastic training as a route to personal and spiritual power.

Special Order Ability:
Can multiclass to sorcerer without losing the ability to advance in the monk class.

Keep in mind that a monk of the dark moon has to be of evil alignment and can multiclass with sorceror and not mage.

Ok, I did switch Deity w/o changing alignment. I'll see what happens as go along. If it doesn't work I'll reload my save game.

I pretty much decided right away to leave them the way they are..
