This may be kind of a silly question or maby been asked already. But why don't monks have more flavour to choose from? I.E Drow monk or something on those lines, is it to do with a balancing issue?
Monks.
Monks are beast as it is. Roll one and train it. After getting killed about 45 times you will realize you can destroy anything that breathes....I miss Atsul.
Yea I recently had an avatar one, which I must say is really over powered. But I would like to see some different flavour. Would be interesting.
In my view only humans know the secret arts of monks. And they only pass them to other humans. Other races are dismissive of using hand to hand to fight when they could use weapons, which is a more effective fighting way.
Half-Elves are humans. Drows are not.
Undeads, were humans. Now twisted, and dead.
MONK MONKS
Monks are ascetics who learn their skills at a monastery instead of a
guild. Monks must practice rigorous mental and physical training and
discipline to achieve their powers. Although they perform incredible
physical and mental feats, they cannot cast spells. They receive their
powers through heavy meditation. Monks are guardians of knowledge and are
also masters of unarmed combat. Most monks shun weapons as the last resort
of the weak. Because monks rely on their quickness, they can not wear heavy
clothing. Also, due to their exstensive training monks excel beyond most
mortals in their skill in hand to hand fighting, surpassing normal
boundries. Monks are also able to stay the killing blow to their opponent,
instead granting them mercy.

OP? o.0
Heh.
quote mya blah blah blah
quote the other answers blah blah
monk+high dex = doomsday
What does high dex have to do with monk being OP?
Cause dex is OP. Didn't you get the memo?
Man, you're all DA's.
I might have to ditch my current project and roll another monk...they are so much fun.
I'll bet on my Storm Giant monk over your Halfling one any day of the week.
Errr....
Forgot about the Mental Vuln and the Magic resistence.
Make it my Mino Monk vs your Drow gimp.
Chakera's depend on hitroll, and dexterity. (Or at least, that's what I've decided). A half-elf monk usually will trump any human monk. Typically, Mya, you come at me with a Mino Monk, and they give me a half-monk, I'll stomp all over you.
Seriously. Strength has never been the be all end all. I've found that I hit a lot more chakera's even on a race with +1 more dex than human. I've had a lot of monks, too.
Sure you might land a few more Chakera's from a halfling monk...but think about getting airthrashed by a minotaur. Plus then you'd have a monk with charge and dualwielding axes....so the end of this is:
Charge
Chii bolt.
Air Thrash
All with a monk hitting Chakeras dual wielding axes.
faerie or illithid monk?
I might have to ditch my current project and roll another monk...they are so much fun.
so much tiiiiiiiime though
There is more to chakeras than DEX and HITROLL.
im stillin thinkin faerie monk... that would be pretty impressive
And Luck. Thanks Mya, but I thought that was obvious.
The only way I could ever train a monk is if I went adventurer first, because there is no way I'm going to train all their weapons to 100 with only one attack.

Yep, then you will find out that you can train only 2 weapons this way
