[QUOTE="Majere, post: 1476655, member: 13916"] 1) Sorry the int and cha should have been 9, but they arent important to the rest of the thread. 2) Since when did staying alive stop being important, a large number of creatures in your MM as just that, creatures. You dont have to be a threat.. you just have to be alive and in 3-8 creatures will attack you beacause your are closest. Yes the BBEG might decide you are not a threat but all fighter types can be dismissed as a threat by most BBEGs simply by summoing a few mooks to stand in the way of the fighter type. And if you dont happen to fight ever combat in a 100*100 room but in 5' doorways the way manymany dungeons are written, then simply standing at the front gives most mobs no choice over wether they can "simply ignore you" 3) Monks are probably the most defensive and "utility" of the fighter type, as such you do less damage thats balance. But even my twinked out monk was not a million miles behind the fighter type for damage. I could probably write out some twinked out monk who did as much damage as the fighter, but I think what I put down already makes a point. Monks are more defensive than other fighters.. if you dont like being a defensive melee'r be a barbarian. [/QUOTE]
