[QUOTE="Ruin Explorer, post: 8226469, member: 18"] Sure, that's how [I]you[/I] play, but JG said: Generally speaking, enemies that can "destroy" your allies (i.e. do significant damage to them and/or significantly CC them) cannot be stopped from doing so merely by proning them and having a single character hit them, because usually they're either casters, or do so much DPR you don't want to be next to them. You seem to be acting as what in Dark Age of Camelot we might have called "the leader of the assist train", i.e. you prevent an enemy from escaping and make them more vulnerable and other melee PCs come and help you murder them. That's viable though equally someone with Shield Master or whatever that Feat is called can do the same. It's not specific to Monks. Whereas Stunning Strike is, but is conventionally used either to prevent an enemy from unleashing some sort of nasty ability, or to set them up to get freight-trained much harder than mere prone would allow (because ranged can join in and the target can't even use Reactions or anything, rather than just losing a Move action to stand up).
