The strength of the monk is in their versatility.

At low levels, monks should be played like thieves, allowing other thieves to focus on non-stealth abilities. Put proficiency points into scimitar and darts, and use your speed bonus to kite enemies.

At mid levels, the monk is an off-tank, capable of standing on the front lines when the main tank has the attention of most of the enemies. He can also be used as an effective scout. There are only a limited number of thieves in SOA, and the monk's stealth gives you a scouting option without needing Jan or Valygar.

At high levels, the monk is a whirlwind of death.
