So in Act 3, Khelgar can put together the Belt, Gloves and Hammer of Ironfist to become a pretty awesome tank. I had him wielding the Hammer and with a decent suit of armour and a good shield he was AC35 or something (by level 16).
Now if you turn him into a monk, he goes back to level 1 and you can "build" him to what you want. Level 16 monks are pretty good, since he keeps all the points you initially put into his STR. But will he end up being a better monk than a fighter? He does pretty good damage with the Hammer, will he do better with his fists? I was struggling to get his AC above 30 even with the items I found, and I'm reluctant to just waste the Hammer. It's pretty stupid to pick him as the choice and have to give up this item that you worked so hard for. 
What did you guys do? Keep him as a fighter or turn him into a monk? And if you turned him into a monk, how did you build him and what did you equip him with?

The first time through I am played as a paladin so I left him as a fighter, and specialized him in warhammer to take advantage of the Hammer of Thunderbolt item set. [img]smile.gif[/img]
Second time through I am going to play as a dwarven fighter myself, so I am going to use those items and convert him into a monk. [img]smile.gif[/img]
