![]() Have you considered doing the SoU/HotU campaing with the monk, or redoing the OC you're going through with the barbarian? But dropping it way down doesn't fit my view of a monk, so heck it all. WIZ is the main monk skill, you'll want this high but you'll never have enough points.ĬHA is pretty much the only dump stat. At least on early levels you'll rely on melee henchmen to keep you alive, so it'll be practical if you can disarm traps and open locks a bit. ![]() INT might not be obvious, but you'll be wanting this a bit high anyway. But you can sacrifice a bit of this as well, by putting points in WIS.ĬON is obvious, for all melee characters, but monk has the lowest HP of melee characters, so. But you can sacrifice this a bit anyway.ĭEX is also obvious, you want to avoid being hit. STR is obvious, you'll want to do damage and be able to hit. Not doing good damage with fists on early levels, not yet having even a decent AC.Ī bit like a wizard without spells, relying on dagger skills.Īnd yea, way hard to figure out the stats. Monk has a pretty rough start, maybe the hardest of all classes. No specific suggestions but just a few notes. I wouldn't multi-class as monk except for prestige classes. Mad3's suggestions on prestige class options are good. This isn't as much of a problem in NWN2 since multiple strength-boosting items don't stack. The biggest problem a fist-monk has in NWN1 is that he'll need to use his gloves item slot for damage-boosting items, which will mean he can't equip gauntlets of ogre strength. You want to boost that strength score as much as possible. This spreads your stat points very thinly, and is the biggest challenge for monks.Īside from his inability to use armor and his need for high wisdom and dexterity scores, a Monk isn't that different from a melee fighter. While a wizard only needs a good intelligence, and a fighter is fine so long as his strength is high and his constitution is decent, a Monk needs good scores in Strength, Dexterity, Constitution, and Wisdom. That means they're Multple Attribute Dependent. Monks are the poster-boy for MAD classes. It's not the best choice (humans and orcs work best for monks, due to the bonus feat and strength bonus respectively) but there's nothing wrong with it.
