Ideally, you want a character that can do most of these stunts, but that brings the problem of shadowing everyone else.True, a 6th level monk could kick the butt of any 1st level character, whether it's a fighter, barb or whatnot. The problem is that not many adventures pit 6th level PCs against big groups of 1st level mooks, and when they do, the 6th level fighter and barb STILL plow through them faster than the monk.Jackie is a comic relief monk. He's the kender of monks. Now there's nothing inherently wrong with kender monks, but not all monks are kender. Jet Li is not a kender, and neither was Bruce Lee.</blockquote>
