[QUOTE="FireLance, post: 2833398, member: 3424"] It's actually not that bad, if you do the math. Let's say a 20th-level monk has the following: 1. Strength 20 (starting Strength 14 and [I]+6 girdle of giant strength[/I]) 2. Weapon Focus (unarmed strike) 3. +5 enhancement bonus from [I]+5 amulet of mighty fists[/I] His full attack with flurry of blows is +26/+26/+26/+21/+16 Let's say a 20th-level fighter has the following: 1. Strength 26 (starting Strength 16, 4 ability increases and [I]+6 girdle of giant strength[/I]) 2. Weapon Focus and Greater Weapon Focus 4. [I]+5 weapon[/I] His full attack is +35/+30/+25/+20 Against an opponent with AC 40 (like a pit fiend) the monk hits an average of 1.2 times per round, while the fighter hits an average of 1.7 times per round. Against an opponent with AC 35 (like a balor or the Tarrasque) the monk hits an average of 2.2 times per round while the fighter hits an average of 2.6 times per round. Against the AC 40 opponent, the monk hits about 70% as often as the fighter. Against the AC 35 opponent, the monk hits about 85% as often as the fighter. [/QUOTE]
