Monks and Weapons

[Captain Maxx Power]

You should NEVER equip a Monk with a weapon. Monks don't do much damage when equipped with a weapon, so just stick their fists. They do more damage.

Actually this isn't strictly true. At lower levels Monks usually benefit from their Nunchuck weapons rather than going bare fists. After a certain level however (it differs slightly, but around the middle ten's) the Monk's barehanded damage overtakes his physical damage with any weapon in the game.
