[QUOTE="abirdcall, post: 7159150, member: 6748898"] Please explain. Most enemies are able to move. If they aren't and have no ranged attacks you could just kill them at range anyway. Disengage is a red herring. Over time? You mean the 3rd session of the game? Levels 1 and 2 only require 1 session (or less) each. How do they stop the enemies from fighting other characters? How do they, themselves survive? Chain plus Shield is AC 18. Monks start with AC 16. By level 5 they will have Splint or Plate for AC 19 or 20. Monks will have AC 17. It's really not that much of a difference. In many groups the difference won't even be that large. Switch a sword and board fighter for one with a heavy weapon and now they have the same AC. Any fight where 1 character can make all enemies attack them and also withstand all of those attacks is not a challenging one. In such a circumstance it doesn't really matter what the rest of the party does. All the strategies given for Mobile enable is (even it even works - most enemies can just move to the Monk on their turn) to have the Monk be the last character to die in a TPK. [/QUOTE]
