I'm considering rolling up a monk, but I'm a little uncertain of how well they play. Part of me is apprehensive about trying one; I still remember how inept they were in 3.5.
Has anyone had the opportunity to play a monk? If so, what do you think of them? How well do they perform compared to the other melee types? Would you say they are able to maintain their damage capabilities as they reach higher levels?
As of now, my group has no melee characters. We have a wizard, light cleric who focuses on blasting, an archer ranger, and a druid. While I certainly do think a monk could tank, would I be shooting myself in the foot if I played one as opposed to a fighter or barbarian?
