[QUOTE="mysticknight232, post: 5207790, member: 88123"] The rule is that monks are an implement based class which means that non-magial weapon properties such as weapon proficiency bonus, reach, brutal and versatile don't work with Monk powers. Your player must read the power description as each power will tell him how far away he can target, typically Melee Touch, Melee 1 or Close Burst X.
