[QUOTE="Clint_L, post: 9400953, member: 7035894"] No, they didn’t lose extra attack at level 5. Stuff that isn’t specifically addressed is more or less unchanged (some language changes and clarification). re. Stunning strike: you make a valid point. I’m of the camp that it did make monks too one note. Also, note that with the new version, even if a mob uses a legendary save against it, they still get slowed and the next attack on them has advantage, which is a big upgrade in that circumstance. I’ve been playing for months with this change, and haven’t missed it because there are now so many worthwhile options for using focus points that you don’t want to spam them all on stunning strike. So yeah, a nerf in some situations, but more than made up for by all the other goodies monks got, IMO. Edit: Consider: currently, you can spam Stunning Strike, which has a pretty high failure rate. With nu monk, you can grapple them on your first attack, then just pound them with 3-4 punches with advantage while taking all the initiative from them. SS is still nice to have in the back pocket, but it’s no longer the go-to move. [/QUOTE]
