	As a square, monks have access to a large variety of combat maneuvers. There are more useful maneuvers than any monk will ever have the points to train in. There is one monk only maneuver that stands above everything else and should typically be the first taken by any monk. That maneuver is [[Perfect Self]], which provides +2 per rank to every single stat, up to +10 total. Unfortunately, this maneuver requires 3 ranks in both [[Surge of Strength]] and [[Burst of Swiftness]] as prerequisites. They are both good maneuvers on their own right and the benefits of Perfect Self would make them worth it even if they were not.

	Monks are built from the ground up to use Unarmed Combat, just like Wizards were built from the ground up to use bolts. Obviously some wizards buck the trend and swing around a big weapon instead and some monks do as well. While many minor mental spells will provide no real benefit to a Two-Handed monk, the excellent combat maneuver selection and cheap Dodge training make it a surprisingly effective build. Not to mention the one-two strike of Force Wave followed by a katana to the face. Note that Polearms are a possibility but they will cost an additional 3/0 TPs per level to train in, making points even tighter.
