Greetings,

I am a rookie (level 5) monk, trying to determine how to train and develop. 

1)  I am not able to figure out how to use any ranged weapon, or indeed how to "train up" in any combat skills besides martial staff and hand to hand.  2)  I never seem to be able to use a shirken of any type and they tend to get lost!!

Is there a sound way to build up my various combat skills in a more balanced fashion?  Or is it simply better to concentrate.  Mainly, Id like to be in decent shape by the time I reach level 7 and the skills begin to bite!!

Any other tips or hints most welcome --

Thanks!!
