A monster turns their attention off of the Tank and onto the squishy DPS, the monk could usually be counted on to quickly step in and take the heat, keeping the DPS alive, and surviving long enough themselves for the Tank to take back control. I think the D&D monk can fit a similar role. Primarily being a damage dealer, but in times of need they have the ability to move around the battlefield better than most. They can go from being front of the pack, punching the boss in the head one round, and then next round slip to the back of the group to help protect the wizard from the wave of minions that just showed up.</blockquote>
