The problem was brought to light by the need of a front line fighter, but the Monk's deficiency in this regard isn't the problem I see.The problem I see is that the Monks don't excel at *anything*. There is no niche the Monk fills.I'm leaning toward giving the Monk a new special ability, like so:Power Of The WillAt 3rd level a Monk may add up to +1 of his Wisdom Bonus to his attacks and damage, and may attack creatures with his bare hands that require +1 weapons if his Wisdom bonus is at least +1Then at 6th, and 9th levels, increase this bonus to 2, and 3. This would certainly remove my "what the hell good is being able to bypass DR 5/+1 at 10th level when anything that's GOT DR has at least +2 by then. Shadows have the +1 thing and they're CR 3. I think the Monk needs too many stats to do well in the first place. Consolidating these under Wisdom would be good. Monk needs high STR to fight, high DEX to get AC and high WIS to power up his special abilities. I think I can fix that.</blockquote>
