I don't know what you mean by "main feature" these features were not effective at high level. they were weak unless you had a subclass boost to FOB. Other uses of ki are more effective, way more effective. What is not weak is the Monks other abilities and some of their subclass abilities...

I didn't say it gauranteed it, but they will not be in there long with heroic Inspiration and Tactical Mind .... even with a -1 and keep in mind a Fighter can use action surge, meaning he can make 2 checks a turn to get out unless for some reason he has no uses left. Like I said a high level...

Yes I agree with you on this, they were comparatively bettter than other 1E classes If he was in melee and not using a huge slow weapon this was true. I would flat out say it was rare for a Magic-User to get off most high level spells in melee. Even at high level you generally ended up going...

Even if you can find them, finding time to put them into your book can be difficult in some campaigns.

Go back and read this thread. Someone here specifically asked for my opinion, so yes at least one poster does care. I answered that person. If you don't like my opinion, fine don't comment, but yes I have found it disruptive in play. In the games I have played it has been. That is 2...

It is not BS. Try it out some time. Saying it over and over again does not make it true. The people who say this have typically not played Monks in tier 4.

How many did you play in tier 4? Mercy was the best Monk in tier 1 and the lower part of tier 2, but it was still pretty weak overall compared to other classes at those tiers and it was not among the best Monks in tier 4. I would say it is actually on the lower end of Monks in tier 4, with...

I played lots of AD&D as well, a 2024 high level fighter is far more impervious to effects that a 1E fighter is. Aside from generally having a higher chance of making a save due to things like 2024 Indomitable, Heroic Inspiration, feats and tons of ways to get bonuses, advantage or even...

I think it does, actually that is what really makes it broken IMO. Sure, I agree but they are not broken and more importantly a Fighter can't use any of them, so I don't see how that is relevant to the discussion on the Fighter. If WOTC gave the Fighter an ability that let them make a Wish or...

You seem to be missing the underlined and bolded part. While I agree the 4-person is the default, the DMG goes into quite a bit of detail on how to plan encounters and how to account for differing party size.

Ok, to start with this assumes you make smart choices in play. Flurry of Blows using 2014 rules is rarely a smart choice after tier 2. It is situationally effective, usually if an enemy is near death and you can kill him with FOB, but unless that is the case, there are usually better ways to...

What exactly do you mean when you say the classes you would not play? I play to 20 regularly, but I almost always multiclass and the only class I see myself ever playing that high without multiclassing is a Paladin (Conquest Paladin to be specific and probably on a Dragonborn species). The...

Because you can't make an encounter according to the guidelines with a 27DC unless you use 8 players. The thread I responded to said players would be facing a 27DC save and I believe the only monster that has that is a 155k xp Terrasque, which requires 8 20th level PCs to fit into the XP cap...

I don't think it works well with the Fighter class. I've played a lot of 5E to 20th level and that is not common, often because other PCs have ways of canceling this if it happens. I just think it is not something that is needed or for that matter somethng that fits with the fighter class...

I never said Monks were not weak, I said they did not need to be improved, mostly because they fit the trope well. 2014 Monks were VERY weak at low level. In tier 1 and tier 2 they were the weakest class by a substantial margin. However in tier 4 they were easily the strongest non-caster...

I don't think that is nearly as out of bounds, mostly because it is capped at +10. Indomitable at level 9 or 10 is not the problem, Indomitable at higher levels is. Also the whole concept of bounded accuracy is that your bonus does not linearly increase in level. a +10 at 2nd level is not...

Here are some I would like to see. Many of these are iconic Ranger spells from 1st edition: Magic Missile Shield Protection from Evil and Good Sleep Find Familiar Charm Person Grease False Life Mirror Image Hold Person Levitate Knock Invisibility Web Fly Fireball Lightning Bolt Fear Haste...

yeah I know, that is why I said eventually we needed to transition to hand written ones. I think though in those LMOP sheets there was more room to write new things than there than there will be on these.

Something to think about, although my speed is only 25, so moving half of that is only 12 .... or 6 while grappling an ally. It is an off turn attack though, which is always nice. I do use the Inspiration-unarmed strike to grapple allies a lot as it is as a Bonus action on my turn and then...

I am playing a Halfling in a Darksun campaign. There is some class and subclass restrictions to stay in line with the setting (no Eldritch Knights, Sorcerers or Paladins :mad:) and some species homebrew (no halfling lucky, but I get Savage Attacks from the 2014 Half Orc and fury of the Small...
