[QUOTE="Arrowhawk, post: 5652320, member: 6679551"] IF the basis on how we evaluate a monk is based on this bogus Tier system, then it's relevant. I didn't introduce the Tier system, someone else did. No, the analogy with the bomb isn't flat wrong because we're only ranking things on one level ability to do damage. A semi filled with Nukes does more damage than any other melee weapon you can think of...but thank god Homeland Security isn't conerned about [I]potential[/I] threats...but realisitic and possible threats. That's the point. Attempting to talk about what a bunch of Nukes can't do is missing the point. Whether you house rule it or not, the point is the DM has control over how powerful non-Monks who rely on spells are. If you fail to close the shutoff valve and then complain the pipe is broken because fluid keeps coming out...you had it coming. If you're going to let someoen go buy a Candle of Invocation at the corner Magic Shop and then you complain about the outcome...you had it coming. Claiming I have a "hate" for a book simply because I said you don't have to allow it in your campaing is.....irrational. That's right..the discussion is about monks and how they are evaluated.
