1. Because complaining is for wusses.
2. Because monks don't hit for crap. We have players play monks reasonably frequently. They have the highest ACs and CMDs of anyone, but just don't deal the damage. It's called "flurry of misses" for a reason, and stunning fist DCs are a joke. And it's a lot harder/more expensive to magic up the to-hit roll with unarmed.
1. Yes
2. No, Full bab for flurries helps. And the Brass Knuckles in the APG solve the lack of cheap enhancement problem.
How you get the high AC? I mean, for a melee class, I put my highest stat in Str and cannot ignore Con. So Dex second best and wis forth?
If you shortchange your main combat stat for better AC, there has to be a disadvantage.
BTW, I like your storyhours!
