[QUOTE="ezo, post: 9288740, member: 7037866"] If you want to be able to move at full speed and possibly carry someone, yes. Ahh... that makes more sense. And is fine if it was a single unarmed strike, but Flurry of Blows? No, too much. Ah-ha! I knew I was forgetting something! Thanks. Which, while true, requires a use of their wild shape. Monk's ability doesn't cost [I]anything[/I]. It's free, all the time. Without a weapon. Have you ever played in a game where the PCs didn't have their weapons? I have. Have the fought things with resistance to normal damage? I have. Despite what you think, it is a very good feature. Without action surge or rage? I think not. Perhaps fighters when they (finally) get Extra Attack (2) and (3). Wrong again. Rogues have Cunning Action to Dash, great. Monks get movement for free, no bonus action required. If you have a DM who uses environmental features in combat, moving along walls and even over water is great. Even if such things are situational, they're there. And I haven't even touched on all the features monks get at higher levels. I certainly do. I've played several monks and very happily done so. Contributed to combats, exploration, etc. in ways other PCs can't do. Ki limitation is a factor, certainly (acknowledged repeatedly), but not nearly to any point where it decreased my enjoyment of the class. Improved is an opinion. Over 90%, sure! Why not? It would be like making $60,000 a year, which is more than enough for you to have a great life, but getting a $5,000 raise. Who wouldn't like that, even if unnecessary? Otherwise, it is simply a case of... MORE POWER!!! MORE OFTEN! Makes a happy gamer. :rolleyes: Tasha's... all over again. Most likely. It is usually the case. :P [/QUOTE]
