[QUOTE="Sacrosanct, post: 6394535, member: 15700"] I think the answer may also be heavily impacted by use of feats. For example, I have a shadow monk who has the magic initiate feat. The 1st level spell he has is hex. when you're attacking four times (2x for multi attacks and 2 more for flurry of blows), that's a potential +4d6 necrotic damage per round. On top of that, you're imposing disadvantage on an ability check. So cast hex on the barbarian, giving him disadvantage on CON checks. Then proceed to stun lock the hell out of him with stunning strike or worse, death touch..er...quivering palm ;) If that doesn't work, I could use 60ft movement rate to stay at range and use deflect missiles to keep from getting hurt by the barbarian while I use eldritch blast cantrip. I'm sure you could come up with a barbarian variant that would be equally dominant over the monk, and that's not even factoring in factors mentioned in my first post. [/QUOTE]
