We can in Neverwinter, and that was what worried me...

I have played many P&P-session (also 3rd edition), but I have to admit I have never played a monk
. What is so damn special about it?
(sorry if you feel offended
)

Faster movement, great saves, evades everything, hands like weapons. Personally, I don't like playing monks much unless I'm in a PnP group, for the roleplaying possibilities; but powerplayers enjoy 'em in standalone settings for the reasons outlined, above.

My very first PnP character was a monk, I loved the character but I kept on dying the whole time
, mostly due bad rolls, low hp and partymembers shooting me in the back in narrow dungeons. My BG II character was also a monk (I played PnP for the first time just before I got BG II, still a novice
) cos of my first char, and my NwN will prob'ly be one again.

But monks can't use special weapons or magic? How are they going to hit e.g. dragons (most of the times +1 or +2 to hit)?

At a certain level their fists count as +1/+2/+..... weapons for determining damage resistance.
