[QUOTE="Snarf Zagyg, post: 8824097, member: 7023840"] Again, I truly enjoyed your take! I do find it difficult to fully understand the whole "spamming stunning strike" point for two reasons. The first is that it seems to run counter to "weak monk" idea that so many advocate. The second is that it's not something that [I]I've seen [/I]in my playing experience, and not something I'd choose to do- to me, stunning strike is good, but very situational.* That said, if you have groups with monks that just spam stunning strike with every hit, then I suppose they would run out of ki pretty quickly ... especially if they aren't concerned about it being a con saving throw, and really only truly useful on low-con, high value monsters (which are not common). I'm not sure why that's fun draining, though? Some people like one-trick ponies (EB Blasting Warlocks, Champion Fighters, etc.) and others don't. If the player doesn't want to learn to play the monk any other way, that's kind of on the player, right? *I'm not denying that this is your experience, but it's far from universal. Different tables play differently and all that. :) [/QUOTE]
