[QUOTE="Viktyr Gehrig, post: 826117, member: 9249"] They're a little bit underpowered, but they have a diverse range of powers and abilities, so should be able to add something to most parties. People who complain they're too powerful are usually just looking at the fact that they get a special ability at every level (which every class should do, anyway), and people who complain about how weak they are usually want them to be front-line martial artist fighters. Remember, if your DM follows the mutliclass restriction for Monks, you need to take any Rogue levels before you start with Monk. If you can persuade him not to follow those rules, Rogue is a nice choice for multiclassing with Rogue-- though, every level you take in a non-Monk class delays those special abilities, just like a spellcaster. As it stands, though, I'd reccomend two levels of Fighter and three levels of Rogue for any character with Monk or Any as a Favored Class, if they intend to be a Monk. It delays their special abilities, but makes them more competent in battle and skillwise, and feels more like what I think Monks should be. [/QUOTE]
