Monks as your main character.

[Arowyn]

I had a monk. Far too easy, once I hit level 15. Before that, I'd say he was about the same as a non-dual wielding fighter.

15+ I did about 1000+ dmg per minute, almost canceling the need for any other party members. There needs to be a Breach wand.

Well at lvl 20 I think it is, Monks become immune to all non magical damage.

Monk's are a blast! However, I eventually had the same reaction as Arrowyn. My monk was very fun, but eventually he became far too powerful. I have been able to singlehandedly take out demons in one round. Some of the fights that should be hard are too easy, and the game can become anticlimactic and unchallenging as a result. IMO, the monk is the most powerful and versatile of the classes, with their combat abilities, magic resistance, etc., they are great all-around characters. Very balanced. Try them, for all you who haven't.

Monks rule. Yes, after lvl 15 or so they do get insanely powerful, as do barbarians (3rd edition characters are pretty dang sweet) but it's kind of fun to be able to walk through pretty much anything once you hit lvl 18 or so. I think so at least .
