[QUOTE="UngeheuerLich, post: 9613661, member: 59057"] Yes. This is really something I did not see at first glance. But I still want the option to do some damage if I just want to kill monsters. Tavern brawler is not terrible. I also like the idea of using improvised weapons if nothing else is at hand. I will try some different builds with dndbeyond soon. I guess paladin is actually out due to charisma as another stat requirement. Although divine favor soubds very tempting. I can certainly see a cleric 1 with tavern brawler that goes monk thereafter straight to level 19. Having cure wounds or being able to cast bless and still being able to flurry seems nifty. I first thought, war cleric is too bonus action heavy, but probably being able to use a big weapon instead of double fists might conserve some ki points. So maybe mixing in some more cleric levels if needed is not too bad at all. Fighter is an obvious choice. Here I can see going battlemaster as an option to be a versatile fighter. And if you are found unarmored at some point, you will still dish out damage. I still have not written off ranger. Free hunter's mark and if you go up a few levels for fighting style and subclass also seems like a great way to do it. Either you are satisfied with medium armor or since you won't be going higher than level 4 at most, using heavy armor won't kill your level 6 ability. [/QUOTE]
