D&D (2024) D&D 5e 2024 Monk Handbook

[Not a Decepticon]

Monks get proficiency in all simple weapons, not just simple melee. So they do get slings, and heavy crossbows, in addition to hand crossbows.

Tool proficiencies are also much more important now as they are required for crafting magic items. Crafting magic items is going to require more or less specific builds going forward with a concentration on one type.

Okay so the weapons will be a thing I will fix in a moment and I will research tools to see if anything could work for Monks.
