    I would just like to mention that 'not dying' can be a very useful party role. That is the purpose of a tank, yes?

    Anyway, to me the monk is one of those classes that isn't great at any one thing, but can be useful in several capacities. Other classes fit the 4 basic roles better, it's true, but there's something to be said for being able to take up various roles depending on changing battle conditions.

    Fax, a good little article overall. I'd like to hear your thoughts on LA: we get more than enough topics about broken/not-broken on this board.

    EDIT: I like - and am defensive about - monks. Can you tell?

    People seemed to like this better, but only marginally so - the way one might prefer to be stabbed than shot. Optimally, one isn't stabbed or shot. Optimally, one eats some cake! But there are times when cake is not available, and instead we are destroyed. This is the deep poetry of the universe. -- Tycho Brahe
