[QUOTE="CydKnight, post: 7152468, member: 6873462"] Use the abilities given to the Monk to survive. Assuming you are using Unarmored Defense, you will have a decent starting AC for level 1 if you made Dexterity and Wisdom your two highest ability scores. Making Constitution your 3rd highest, will give you additional hit points. You could become more of a ranged fighter at level 1 and 2 to stay away from melee. Use the extra speed from Unarmored Movement to your advantage. When Patient Defense kicks in, don't be afraid to use Dodge as a bonus action. Once you start getting into melee combat, make sure at least one of your allies is there with you so you aren't getting ganged up on by the enemy. Use Step of the Wind strategically to attack then Disengage or Dodge to avoid getting hit. You will also be able to Deflect Missles at level 3 giving you some ranged defense. So by level 3 you should have plenty of tools to survive as a Monk if you use it's abilities wisely. [/QUOTE]
