Wolfen Priest said:IMC, we have a fighter, a cleric, a rogue/mage, and a dwarf monk. Granted, he had really high stats, but he was the best combatant in the game, pretty much. The only reason for this was that the DM gave him some +1 'wolverine'-like claws, which added 1d6+1 to his damage and gave him a +1 to hit.
Something that simple can make the monk a viable combat-machine, IMO.
Something like that can make most characters a viable combat-machine.
To my knowledge, every single person who has come here with tales of overpowered monks in real life play, when pressed for details, always present characters with three or more stats of 16+ rolled and/or very potent magic items.
There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that low level monks are weak when stacked up against any other core class.
