sure, but "I don't like it" is not a sinonym for unnecessary. If some people find use for it, and find it a better way of using the information on the book, it's, by definition, not unnecessary. edit = I'm just wrong here. I made the same mistake as Yaarel in using unnecessary and waste of...

and the tag is none of that. It's something you don't like, but us finding uses for it kind of proves that it is none of those things.

or dash, or disengage....

magic weapons exist for exactly that reaon, and I would not loose another part of the class to put in a feature that incentivises the class to do the opposite of what that class is most know for. Those would also interfere with the classes power budget and change a lot of other features. But...

no, it was mathematically worse than the PHB monk, they really flubbed that one

And if you really want to play a monk with masteries, there are two viable options, a mastery feat or just playing the warrior of the hand subclass, that has features that work very similarlly to the masteries... and that is not even considering multiclasses.

I would much rather have deflecting attacks than weapon materies. Weapon masteries serve to give a class utility options and tactical choices. The monk always had those, so adding masteries, without creating unarmed masteries would be, as crawford said, "a hat on a hat" and a clunky secondary...

I prefer 2d4 because it avoids the dreaded 1 in the healing die. I think it's okay to scale the mass spells by one die because it will be affecting multiple people, so it scales exponentially (I don't know if that is the right word to use).

About subclasses making the subclass tags wrong, I disagree with that too. The subclasses don't get new spell lists, they just open up another classes spell list to them. You don't need an EK tag on the spell, the eldritch knight just has to remember that when they read "wizard" on the spell...

I actually disagree with this. Mastery did little to nothing good for the monk before. It made for a weird tug of war, where you had to choose between doing higher damage with your unnarmed strike or having the utility of the mastery. Unless you make a mastery for unnarmed strikes, or do...

no, what I'm saying is that if that space would not be used for other things, if it would stay blank, then it's objectivelly not a waste of space.

the last UA monk was the worst monk they've made for 5e...

Well, it's objectivelly not a waste of space because that space was not used for anything before...

two attacks per turn, better scores, better unarmed damage... But what I don't really get is the "now" part of your statement, what did the monk have before that it doesn't now that separated it from the comonner?

... it's just you :p

Nevermind

For a lot of us, the fact that you could conjure multiple allies was a bad part of the spell and needed to change.

Sure, I was just giving a way to check in any playtest document if there is a change.

Yep, the spell is flexible and you can distribute it equally between 1-6 targets.

I think that is where the warrior of the hand ended up in. When you do a flurry you can, Addle, Topple, Push and Stun. Maybe that should be a feature for the whole class, but I'm honestly happy with where we are with the base monk
