But, as long as you're here, should one always advance when
you have sufficient experience (given, naturally, that you
are saintly)?

At low levels it is good to advance once skills are maxxed (providing you are SAINTLY alignment).  If your intelligence or wisdom is below 15, I would suggest you get them above 15 before going past level 5.  Maxxing as many skills out as you can takes a 
lot longer, but in most cases, and expecially at low levels, is well worth the wait. :)

Hey!! I resemble that remark about intelligence being below 15.  Actually,
it's that way because everytime I died I usually lost 2 points o
intellgence.  Oh well, that's life, lose a few brain cells here and there.
In all seriousness, your wisdom should be over 18 by the time you become
a mid-leveller (level 6?)  This way, you can take the balrog with a little
help, and your spells will be a bit more effective.  Right now I'm trying
to get all of my stats above 20 before advancing to level 10.  It's going
to take quite a while.  Oh well, that's all from me on this subject.

If it looks really messy that's because my backspace isn't working for
some strange reason.

You have chosen the path of goodness and light, and for that you are to be congratulated!  In this evil world you will find many opportunities to right wrong and overcome the evil!
Before you begin your ascention toward High Mortalhood (level 20 and over), please take about an hour and do the following:

1:  Read the books in the Praxis Library (from here: w,d,w,s,e,e,n,e).  The books cover all the laws governing the rules and regulations for playing Nightmare.

2:  Read the Monk's Tableau each and every time you log on.  It is filled with great tips and sound advice.

3:  Read the Platinum Book of Law.  It contains all the rules governing what is illegal in the realm of Praxis.

4:  Use the help function command.  It will give you information on all the commands you need to know to play this game.

5:  Use the Monk line to ask questions and get information.  You are more likely to get help from a Brother or Sister monk quicker than anyone else.

6:  THIS IS REALLY IMPORTANT:  DO NOT ADVANCE TO LEVEL 2 UNTIL YOU ARE SAINTLY!~!!!  i CANNOT STRESS THE IMPORTANCE OF THIS!
It is much easier to raise your alignment at level 1 than any other level...if you go to level 2 before you are saintly, you lose you ability to cast magic.  It becomes VERY hard to get it back.

Have lots and lots of fun playing here!  It is a virtual world!  Enjoy and explore!

If I can be any help to you, don't hesitate to \"tell\" me.

simple things that would greatly help this class. The first is to vastly
improve some weapon class on melee for monks, maybe 2-3 more points of it
added to melee for monks.  The second would be for buffer to have an 
added bonus for wisdom, the higher wisdom is the better or longer buffer
lasts.  This would give the monks a reason to increase their cheap
stat of wisdom other than just trying to get a better cure.
