[QUOTE="Vikingkingq, post: 9178692, member: 66208"] I agree, particularly about "the close to being good." The monk has a lot of the tools it needs already in its kit; the problem is that they're chokepointed on action economy and their resource pool, so they can't use a lot of their tools the way they're supposed to. Mostly, what the monk needs is to be able to Flurry and then choose a defensive option (either Patient Defense or Step of the Wind) as consistently as a Rogue Sneak Attacks and then uses Cunning Action. That would get the Monk's damage and survivability up to where it needs to be. Now, there's other stuff that would be nice on top of that - a more elegant combination of Unarmed Strikes and Weapon Mastery so that it's not a nonbo, access to martial feats, etc. - but that's more in the territory of "this would be nice to have" than "this is needed for the class to be functional."
