[QUOTE="FormerlyHemlock, post: 6612487, member: 6787650"] "Grok" means "deeply understand". It's a reference to Heinlein's book "Stranger In a Strange Land" about a telepathic Martian who groks things very quickly. I've actually never read the whole book but the term is part of pop culture now... [MENTION=5834]Celtavian[/MENTION], you don't strictly need the Mobile feat. You could just rely on missile weapons. But Mobile lets you get your bonus action attack into play, and eventually Stunning Strike. Yes, a fighter can do it too but a monk does it somewhat better due to faster movement (fighter would need to cast Expeditious Retreat to keep up). Mobile is not a mandatory feat, but it's helpful, just as Sharpshooter is helpful for an archer. And yes, I know not having a tank can get casters dead. That's why I said the rest of the party is a liability against conventional foes. Monks can handle hobgoblins/goblins/basilisks/etc. by themselves. [/QUOTE]
