[QUOTE="Flamestrike, post: 8615445, member: 6788736"] You[B] dont have a feat[/B] yet as youre a Halfling Sorcerer 1, Fighter 1, Monk 3. Im just running the three characters (Fighter, Monk and Sorcerer) as BOG standard single classed PCs (a Battlemaster, an OHM and a Draconic blaster) to show how 'complex MC builds, especially ones that do so prior to 5th level) come out poorly compared to single classed PCs. Dude, you have 2 spell slots PER LONG REST, and 3 Ki points per Short rest! The Fighter PC presented is +7 to hit with his Bow, and +6 with his Sword, and can add +1d8 to hit thanks to Precise strike. In other words you're hit on 9's with the Bow, or 14's [I]even if you use shield[/I] (and you can only do so twice), and any misses by 4 or less (so 4's base d20 roll, or 9's even with shield) are (on average) going to hit should I use precise strike (which I have 5 uses of, per short rest). But fine. On your turn you use a Ki point and your Bonus action to Dodge, and then move on up to the Fighter and GFB. You hit on 12's (AC 18) dealing 1d10+1d8+3 (13) damage. 45 percent of 13 damage (lets ignore crits for now) is 6 damage. It's now my turn. I'll shoot twice at +7 with the sword (at disadvantage because dodge and you're adjacent to me) if the lowest roll on one dice for either attack comes up 9 or more you're hit, which one of the two attacks should. I presume you'll use [I]shield [/I](knowing full well I have an action surge up my sleeve and 5 sup dice). Lets also presume I dont roll a 14 or more base on either attack due to disadvantage) so also I dont use precise strike. For my object interaction, I'll switch to the Sword. I [I]dont [/I]action surge, because your AC is currently so high, and my turn ends. It's now your turn again. You're down 1 Ki point, and 1 of your 1st level slots. Im down 6 HP. We're toe to toe. What do you do? [/QUOTE]
