[QUOTE="Stoat, post: 5378124, member: 16786"] To be fair, the Monk's high level class features are kinda sucky. [MENTION=19675]Dannyalcatraz[/MENTION]: I'm curious what level you played your longspear monk to and what splats you used. In general, the Monk's problem isn't just that he can't easily enchant his fists/get the equivalent of a magic weapon. Offensively, he suffers the death of a thousand (or at least four) papercuts: 1. Medium BAB 2. Flurry of Blows further decreases his attack bonus 3. MAD makes it tough for him to pump the stats (Str. or Dex.) that would increase his attack bonus 4. Lack of easy enhancement bonuses to hit I DM'ed a Monk and Monk/Druid in 3.5. Both characters had trouble landing their punches. If I were DM'ing 3.X again, and somebody wanted to play a Monk, I'd either give him a full BAB or eliminate the penalty for FoB. I'd definitely rejigger the cost of the Amulet of Mighty fists.
