Message: <blockquote data-quote="Merlin the Tuna" data-source="post: 6366735" data-attributes="member: 55638">Disclaimer: I'm basing this off of my experience with the final playtest rather than the PHB (which I don't have). But that Monk was tightly constrained in terms of Ki points, and short rests being lunch breaks rather than breathers really exacerbates the problem. To wit, at 8th level, I had 4 Ki points and 6 ways to spend them: Flurry, Supreme Flurry, Slow Fall, Step of the Wind, and 2 subclass moves. If you're going off of the 6-8 encounters per day model (which admittedly sounds completely insane to me) that meant about 1 ki point in each fight. And again, this is at 8th level, which is in the range of where a large chunk of campaigns taper out and end. To me, that says that you should generally assume that the monk is not doing a lot of crazy shenanigans and generally has to use his speed to find someone to go toe-to-toe with. And then he needs to hope everything goes according to plan, because if it doesn't, he's made of wet tissue paper.Edit: Also it has just been pointed out to me that most of these posts and all of the numbers are from August 2013, not from the last week or so. I assume that the final numbers may have changed a bit since then. Whoooops.</blockquote>
