I even question that your statement is true at lvl1.So just a few points at lvl1 you seem to prove:1) Rangers and Locks spend the minor action once per enemy most of the time not every time they want to use their feature. 2) Ranger, Lock and Rogue can use their striker damage in melee and at range the monk is bound to melee.3) The Rogue has Backstabber which turns 2d6 to 2d8 an average increase in damage equal to +2 just for the cost of a feat.4) The rogue can use a dagger for his attacks which puts him +1 ahead on attack rolls. The more damage you deal the more important is to hit (except for when approaching very high hit rates).5) I don't even want to look up every L1 Encounter and Daily of a Rogue b/c there is a boat load already published and there are some that are just awesome, same for the at-wills.6) Rogues and Locks and Rangers have more support than the monk.So I fail to see the overpoweredness of the monk except for if successful troll is successful = true. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /><img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/laugh.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":lol:" title="Laughing    :lol:" data-shortname=":lol:" /></blockquote>
