Worth putting fungi on 38 monk?

[nyclin]

I'd avoid the gnomes as a rogue. The mages will DS everything in the vicinity which is gonna eat you alive. My 40 monk has trouble with a single max-level mage if it decides to cast more than 1-2 nukes, even if I start at full HP with mend up.

Maybe try DL yetis. No casters to mess with and a fair bit of space to work with if you need/want to Instill Doubt.

Gnomes are amazing for monks though. You really just need FD or a lot of luck with sneak pulls.
