I appreciate your negative feedback regarding them. I will disagree some though. While I agree Cold Caster is somewhat shoehorning, I don't think it's really an optimizer's choice for solely ele-monk... there is still a tax on taking that feat, it creates a cold specialist flavor.. overpowered...

It all depends on how much effort you throw into flavor. We have a Slavic tumbler with some steppe spirituality.. but, yeah, as far as official representation /display of archetype & tropes.. mostly Wuxia. Which can make it difficult to make another martial who pursues an art to the point of...

Immersion is something I pursue to train out the 🦕 part of my aging 🧠 to think a different way. Takes a creativity and vulnerability that we actively avoid when getting older. Just pursuing that childlike wisdom, and attempting Immersion helps get me there. First thing I do is start using...

Haha, whoopsie daisy!

Black Dragon? I am staring at a tiny screen currently

To be fair, I'm not really angry about anything. The Master would not approve of anger

Glorymonger, a wagger, own a magic shop and need things for it, a retired pinnacle of their field out to prove they've still "got it", a clueless innocent crusader for a church, a peasant was the only one left for a job. The tragedy can be pretty minimal to start the adventure, then the true...

Haha, well the complex history between Torgo & "The Master" also exists... I am unsure if other American Torgo's are offended by this. I am unsure then, how to feel about weapon mastery now. Well... I do know that the Master would NOT approve!! For I am Torgo! and "I take care of the place...

Wow, that is above and beyond. Anyone tells my neuro-divergent kid he can't say "mastered", often gradeschool language... they have a chance at a rearranged 👃

That short rest superstar sounds fun. That feat assortment can certainly make for a quirky, non-traditional monk. I can imagine an insufferable "rise and shine" get-up-&-go character. Or like a military bugler+stand-in cook and latrine cleaner :)

Depends on what level of lore you are talking about as well. Some of my lore "matters" but not in a global/politics sense. Currently, the party is going through a massive sidequest, because of a motivation to destroy a cursed sword, remove curse is only temporary at best. The lore behind the...

I think to some extent that leads to more diverse characters, or realization of different flavors of character. Also, I totally agree. They did that pretty well without eating those classes' lunch

Yeah, I also thought of Totemic barb for the character shell, that would be a great choice. I went Zealot to meet in the middle a bit - more sword & board dmg, particularly with 1 fighter... but still boasting a heck of an unarmored AC (CON is 20). Like your totemic, it is with more strategic...

Without being any more MAD than the average monk too. Very nice

2nd better realized build. Human, Zealot + Fighter. Origin: Tireless Reveler, tough. Dueling fighting style. Bloodlust feat. Durable feat. Periapt of wound closure for double HD heals. Pretty fun, chose a build less reliant on 100% reckless attack. Between +2 dmg from dueling fighting style...

I mean player: equipment, spell prep, etc. If you know you are going up against a historic "lich queen", and a knowledge character knows what that entails.. it matters as to how players may prep for a dungeon... could still need to read more though 😉

I only read snippets, but the lore info, at bare minimum makes a large difference in scenario preparation there

Also, another feat that can tandem up so nicely with others.. if you just want to beat face and give a nod to the party control master

Would that also just improve all your bonus action attempts at imposing conditions after plain old cold attuned strikes?.. cause monk has plenty of those too

I love this one too. + RP flavor in restraining.. lets make some mage-hunting, bounty-hunting martials! It also works really well in tandem.. as I've seen a few of these feats are more team combo platters. Potentially, you can have a team up, you grapple, my rogue sleight of hands you with...
