While they may not be as manly as He, I feel like they served their purpose well enough; and despite their short-ived campaigns, there was enough to them to be somewhat interesting.

Take for instance, the Human Monk that I rolled for 3.5. While he was built to be a monk meant for a great number of attack rolls in one turn (Flurry of Blows and what not) he seemed very capable at grappling, as well. When the party's boat was assailed by a Kraken attacking from the water, the monk managed to successfully grapple and pin one of its tentacles before being pulled away by everyone else to an emergency boat. (This was at level 1, mind you.)

Later, they came across a stuck metal door, but no one could open it. With a few nat 20's, my monk not only grappled with the door, but ripped it off of its hinges, and would start using it as a multi-purpose tool (in this case, it was a weapon, a shield, and a means for stealth.) Plus, according to our DM, the metal door did some pretty impressive damage.. couldn't remember the roll for it, though.

I say stealth, because the main enemy we faced were Undead and feral animals, who couldn't roll high enough to understand why a door was inching slowly towards them, and didn't realize that there was a monk and several others behind said door. Sadly, the campaign didn't last long, as people kept arguing amongst themselves, and I kid you not, threatening the DM over a Doctor Who reference.
