    Monks in D&D are no joke. I’ve gotten torn up by them before. That class has actually been around since the very beginning. I think I might replay as one.

      Interesting, the general consensus in rpg spheres I hang out in is that monks are cool and flavorful but dead last mechanically.

      I’ve never run the numbers myself, or even played a monk, but I can say at higher levels “stunning strike” beginners pretty impossible to pull off with how high enemies con saves all end up being.

        They’re bad unless played a very specific way with some specific gear to help them dig into that niche they fit in. They don’t just do great no matter what like a lot of other classes
