    [​IMG] After reading the descriptions on bgchronicles, I'm really interested in playing BGII as a monk, but I'm hoping someone more familiar with the AD&D rules can fill in the blanks for me.

    *What are the minimum stats?
    *Are there any race or alignment restrictions?
    *What I read suggests that the monk can't use any 2-handed weapons, but the quarter staff seems natural...what's up with that?
    *I know the monk can't use armor, but can he use magical armor class modifiers like rings, cloaks, amulets, and girdles?
    *The info I read doesn't say anything about the monk being unable to use gauntlets, but wouldn't they be kind of out of place on a hand combatant?
    *What's his hit dice?

    Thanks for helping me out.

    [​IMG] I'm sorry, but I can't help you with that.
    What I do know is that (If you read the info at bgchronicles careful) you've noticed that a Monk won't need weapons, as he uses his hands,
    and they are quite strong if you ask me,
    in time they will become +1, +2 and even +3,
    ofcourse this can't match with the new magic items but it's still cool.
    The Monk also uses thief weapons proficienty slots,
    so you can't use a 2 handed weapon.
    I hope this answers some of your questions...
