[QUOTE="Eltab, post: 6782866, member: 6803337"] A monk at lower levels has to remember that he is a "Fisher Battlecruiser" - he has speed and a strong punch but not armor so he WILL get hurt if Team Monster strikes back. My experience: for all intents and purposes, Attack (shortsword) + Martial Arts = single attack with Advantage to-hit. I always felt like 1 of 2 blows would land but rarely both; otoh rarely did I miss twice, so I always accomplished something. Monks give their foes the Death of 1000 Cuts. You have no one-hit-KO option. (So m/c Rogue1 ? - for Sneak Attack on your shortsword) A fellow player with Monk3 was having fun showing off Catch Arrows - he managed to throw one back for a hit - until the DM decided to concentrate archery fire on him. Catch Arrows uses your reaction, so you can only do it once before your next turn. I haven't gotten to L5 (Extra Attack / Stunning Fist) yet. By reputation, you become a 'status-effect striker', leaving helpless foes for your friends to take down. [/QUOTE]
