[QUOTE="Legildur, post: 372269, member: 1258"] I see a lot of tal about grappling, AOOs, the merits of the Improved Grapple feat [OA], but I don't see any comments from anyone who currently plays a grappling character. Next time my party composition encourages it, I'm going to make a grappling monk and see what happens. Sure, they're not the greatest all-round warrior in the world, and he might be at a disadvantage with anything larger than himself, or a slime, but lookout any enemy spellcasters trying to hide in the rear as he tumbles through the front line and takes them down (especially when you open the play with a charge using the Flying Kick feat for double damage and the stun attack followed by the free grapple check while wearing Gloves of Fearsome Grip). Oh yeah, and he'll also carry a club of sure striking to deal with that pesky damage reduction (clubs are a special monk weapon under OA rules). Basically, for a couple of feats (Improved Grapple, Choke Hold and/or Earth's Embrace) you can make a nasty grappling monk. [/QUOTE]
