[QUOTE="ECMO3, post: 9622385, member: 7030563"] At 17th level your chance to hit is going to be closer to 80-90% Regardless it scales either way. 6.5 DPR is 19% boost to the at will damage you do as a Monk (not counting magic bonuses). So if you are scaling with 60% chance to hit that 4 extra damage increases DPR from 21 to 25. That is not insignificant. Well it is on the top of my list and mathematically I think it is the ideal one to take, even in a low magic campaign. It is the one feat I would take, and I think it is better than any others. Also if you are starting with a 17/16 you can't have a 20/20 until level 16 regardless. So you only have that 20-20 for 4 levels total, assuming you survive that long and the campaign continues that long. This means in terms of the overall campaign, the impact of getting to the 20-20 milestone is relatively minor. Meaningful at high level, but meaningless for most of the campaign. Meanwhile you have to live with your 4th level choice for 17 levels and can use the benefits of it for 17 levels. What you choose at 4th level has a bigger impact on the game overall than the choices made at any other levels. If you don't take a dex feat with your 17 Dex Monk at level 4 your character will be worse from level 4-7, regardless of what you do or do not do at levels after that. If you are playing an 18th level 1-shot it is a completely different situation. [/QUOTE]
