[QUOTE="spectre72, post: 1620587, member: 18885"] Well I will vote monk also in hopes that more monk goodness comes down the pipe :D I have been playing a monk in our regular campaign since 3E came out and have found it to be a fun and challenging character to play. I have stood face to toe with giants, and face to claw with a few dragons (the character is a female gnome). I have lived to retire at 10th level (which is a huge accomplishment in our campaign where we only play once a month). This survival also included being the only player alive after a near TPK, I knew when to run away and hide whan no one else did :heh: I only added 1 level of Psion after the first psionic handbook came out, but progressed no further because of the limited usefullness of low level psions. The only concession to being a psion was inertial armor which helped me get hit less (which was key during the parties "everyone is a support character phase"). So my comment is that the monk has plenty of power and survivability, you will not hit as hard as many front line tanks but you can step up when the need arrises. The thing I have found is that it is a class that requires alot of patience and tactical skill to play effectively. My new character for our campaign is a druid because I wanted to play something else for a while, but I would not hesitate to bring my monk out of retirement to help smack down some more bad guys.
