Z240 Monks

[APWhite]

I love playing Z240. I mostly play Vampire Mindcrafters. I am branching into the Monk class next. But I have a huge concern over resists. How does a monk cover his resists when he can't wear armor? It seems way too dangerous to run around with gaps in the resistances.

So what do you guys do?

I've never played a monk class. I've only played Mages and Chaos-Warriors. And the current Char a CW is the most advanced and deepest that I've ever manged to get, had a little look at level 100 - the Serpent is horrific. He came stright for me and killed me in like two moves...didn't even have time to do anything. Begining to think that Oberon was a fluke!

They have Draconians in 240? I used those in Zangband as Monks because they get the first 5 resistances (elements + poison) innately as they level up. Then equipment only has to cover the high resists. You can carry rings for the situational stuff like Sound, Light, etc.
