[QUOTE="CapnZapp, post: 7443073, member: 12731"] If you mean the subclass is considered weak, then yes it is. Luckily the main class (Monk) isn't that weak - it's just that the player seldom uses the specific subclass features. The player asked if the character could use radiant instead of fire for her abilities; I said yes. The character has also got a class-specific item: a headband that allows her to do a Blinding Strike in conjunction with her Radiant Sun Bolts (Blinding Strike works exactly as Stunning Strike other than inflicting Blinded instead of Stunned). This item does require attunement. I would say in hindsight these changes add relatively little actual power (but were appreciated for the characterization nevertheless). We haven't seen many fire-resistent creatures, and she has mainly used Stunning Strike anyway. Not sure what you have in mind. They took the main entrance, and then went straight to the Throne Room. Not sure if there's any significant defending wards left. The players have hopefully learned their lesson by now (=don't stay in the Fane to take your short rest; you [I]will[/I] be found and interrupted). :) Even though I've buffed the Red Wizards significantly from RAW (I believe they're only Mages there, and encountered piecemeal), they will only stand a chance if they catch the party before they manage to rest. With no spells, no stuns, no action surges, no item charges, no potions, no nothing... the characters should be somewhat vulnerable... :) but if they escape out in the jungle, chances of finding them before they can complete their rest should be slim.
