[Deadmantis]

I played AD&D in high school back in the 80s. When the DM gave me descriptions of the different classes I chose the monk as my first character. Don't remember why. His gear sucked and leveling was slow and painful in my regular group. Never did make it to lvl 17 for the overpowered Quivering Palm skill.

I also played a human monk in beta and still have one on live. As others have stated, they are very much classic and they fit in quite well with the lore of Norrath.
