Sadly the monk seems to be bugged. His ability only adds the starting 3 points from the talent tree to the strength fights even though it should add all. I'm 99% sure this is not supposed to happen since it says "talent points" and not "basic talent points" in the monks' description and the character would be utter trash otherwise. Please fix this if there is ever going to be a next patch.

Besides that the game is extremely luck and dice based which I knew from the board version. If that bothers you and you want to play something more comptetitve where you can impact the game more then talisman might not be something you enjoy, but if you are just looking for some casual fun this game can be intriguing. The UI is outdated and far from flawless like others already pointed out, but it still works fine most of the time and doesn't bother me.
