What do parties favor more - SK or Warrior?

If OP makes a monk thinking he can tank naked he is going to be in for a rude awakening. Level

A fresh start monk might do well to start their adventuring career in the Guk area, netted/woven/mesh is a great progression of armor in terms of AC/weight. Many fresh start ogre/troll warriors wear this into level 20 and tank find. An equivalently geared monk will avoid damage significantly better than these.

There are a few cheap high ac low weight items available in EC too. IIRC the fine silk turban and azure sleeves both go for mere dozens of plat. Targishin's mask is a little more pricey, but makes a great AC pad also.

Of course a fresh monk probably wouldn't know these tips, which is why I am sharing them here for consideration.

Warriors are always more fun than SKs. Warriors are ambidextrous which comes in handy at any party because everyone loves to see what ambidextrous people can do!

SKs are always brooding and going on about death and stuff no one enjoys that kind of guy.

Go warrior for maximum fun at ANY party!
