I have always wanted to play one. They don't do very much damage and are weaker at combat manuevers. I know they would be awesome at stealth and their ac would be decent. Has anyone played one? How did it work out?
One of my Pathfinder Society characters is a gnome monk with Strength as her dump stat. You do have to realize that you won't be doing a lot of hit point damage, so specialize in some combat maneuver right from the start and you should have a fine time. Also, taking Agile Maneuvers as soon as possible will help.
At 1st-level, my monk came within 1 point of grappling a giant crocodile, so I don't think her size is too much of an issue.
