[QUOTE="Shard O'Glase, post: 282131, member: 1134"] monks are fine. If you want the monk th be a front line fighter put your best stat in str. Don't put a 12 there and then whine that the fighter does way more damage. Two magic fang is your friend hire a dang druid to make you an amulet of magic fang for gods sake. The rules for them are in sword and fist. This isn't really a brillian idea, the monk in my group asked for them before sword and fist, I gave it too him apparently at a cheaper price than sword and fist recomends. needing multiple stats can be bad, but all those benefits you gain from those stats are great when you get object of wisdom, and then boost you other stats for the standard benies. If in a point buy you actually luck out because with multiple small bonus stats you get multiple benefits. For example 25 point buy. 1/2 orc 16 str, 14 dex, 14 wis 9 int, 6 chr, 12 con. I get a decent str, and a good ac since my wiz and dex add too it, and low prime for my stun attack oh boo-hoo. lets say I have a small amount of money a +2 wis/+2 dex in two items equalls 8,000gp and gives +2 to ac if I wanted a +2 just from dex like those single stat dependent weaklings it would be a +4 item and cost 16,000gp. Those 8,000 I save help me buy bracers of armor, or amulet of magic fang, or whatever. [/QUOTE]
