Personally though I never play a monk character; they just lose hit points too fast. They make cool NPCs though.

Monks are a bit like wizards - they take a long time to become formidable, but at epic levels they kick some serious arse.

I played through MotB as a half-drow monk based loosely on the Black Raven mentioned in one of the Icewind Dale games. By the time he got to level 30 he had an armour class of 65, due mostly to his huge wisdom score.

Whoa. Well let's see... +6 AC for Monk level, +8 for bracers, +5 for natural armor necklace, +4 from a +8 Wis item, +4 for a +8 Dex item, +1 Dodge feat, umm... +5 for 20 Dex. So +32 for a Wisdom of 74? He/she must be a god!

He also had a few levels of Duelist (if that makes a difference), and was wearing the +10 'Dread Wraps' robe. Most of his other equipment was crafted rather than off-the-rack. I'll post his stats if you are interested.

Since the start of this thread 3 months ago, another 10 modules (of varying quality but still) have been released.

I've seen a lot of communities less productive.

Monks need some levels, yes, but they don't need to be epic to be good, they can start to kick serious ass at 8-10.

... I don't any longer know what's on and off-topic here.

Heh, we're supposed to be dead. Has anybody built a necromancy-themed module?

Something like this perhaps?
