They don't generally take the Dodge tree, and if they do, a 13 or 14 suffices. For the most part, they should focus on Wis and Str in some combination, with at least a 12 Con. I agree that flurry of blows sometimes gives people the wrong idea about how to play them, but I don't think that needs a "fix." Rather, it's a combat option that helps them when they end up in what would otherwise be the worst spot, going toe to toe with a strong melee attacker. Shocking grasp could give someone the wrong idea about how to play a sorcerer, but that doesn't mean that shocking grasp isn't presented properly. It is interesting that a monk is a full BAB charcter, effectively, when using maneuvers and making full attacks. The only respects in which they are medium BAB characters is in making standard attacks and by having a smaller hit die.</blockquote>
