[QUOTE="Bardbarian, post: 6811973, member: 6802784"] Thanks for the replies! Just to share, the reason I don't account for stunning strike much in my discussion, is that it is often resisted costing me 2-3 Ki in a singe round to land it partially due to a 14 wisdom and to many monsters having high constitution. Likewise Fighters, Barbarians and Paladins all have similar ways of granting themselves advantage. so it doesn't really make the monk stand out in the sense of offense. As I mentioned they have a wide array of defensive options but in AL games they seem to fall flat. It is likely that feats are the issue, with GWF and Sharpshooter dominating as they do. It's just a bit disheartening when, if I land all 4 of my attacks, I do 3 more points of damage than a single hit from one of the many GWF barbs or fighters I play with.
