The big question is why the monk doesn't do as much damage. What type of magic items are being used?
There's your problem right there. Almost impossible to build a decent combat monk with low strength. Many have tried, most have failed. This has been discussed heavily on the boards over the last couple of years.Tyrrell said:A fellow player in my game is frustrated with the way his monk is turning out in combat.....13 strength....
Ridley's Cohort said:Weapon Finesse is a mistake. He should not purposefully allow Str to fall so far behind your Dex. In fact, his Str should be higher than your Dex if he does not want to be laughed at by all the real fighters.

Ridley, what character build did you use for Stone Bear in Piratecat's story hour?
Also, if you are going to play a monk, try and come to some agreement with the other players that you get the most appropriate magical items. Sure, the items Ridley recommends benefit everyone, but they provide more benefit to the party if the monk gets them as it makes him a viable melee combatant, as against a marginal improvement to the standard suite of melee combatants.
