Monk stronghold quest

Am I the only one that finds it a bit weird, that monks get the same stronghold quest as warriors? Wouldn't the obvious thing be a monastery?

You aren't the only one. I was extremely disappointed to find out the monk didn't get a monastery. The castle certainly doesn't seem to fit a monk. I get the feeling most people don't like to play a monk, however, which is too bad. They are tons of fun and have some amazing abilities. Thus far, my favorite character is a monk.

Mine too. I did the kensai/mage thing and must admit that it is a powerful combo, but the munk is just so much more fun to play. How can you not like, beating with your bare fist on, oh say, a dragon for instance...

I dropped my game when I had traveled all the way to the underdark with my monk. He was simply so powerful that it was no fun playing anymore. :-( If I ever go trough the game in solo I will use a monk however. Maybe with Imoen as a backup though, because she's so cute.

C'mon Thomas, you didn't think it was fun having a monk with Cloak of Mirrors slapping around Beholders?

That's just cool in my book...

Imoen?!? Please, her "I need to get out of here" is just so tiresome... No, give me that petite drow Viconia and I could have a nice solo (dual?) adventure

Ah 'tis true that Viconia is both seductive and beautiful a companion but would she not feel a bit uneeded in the company of the mighty monk? ;-) Imoen can disarm traps and upon locks, the monks only shortcomings, plus of course that she can toss spells around with the best of them.

She stops using the "I got to get out of here" quote after you rescue her from spellhold so blah! ;-P

Just so we're all clear on one thing though... Monks Kick Ass!!! Don't let anybody tell you otherwise. He is one of the best, if not the best single class char in the game.

And just so you know...

There you go. Just turned Imoen into a monk after I rescued her from spellhold, since it doesn't work if change her before that. Behold the power of the Shadowkeeper utility. ;-P

"Now I remember why traveling with you was so much fun." -spoken by Imoen after singlehandely defeating an entire drow war party.
