[QUOTE="jcfiala, post: 2849265, member: 6223"] Well, this argument is that it's broken, if we're fixing the monk in general. So, if it's with a monk with full BAB, then it's a pathetic 1d6, but with a +1 BAB and a -1/-1 Flurry. Then at 5th it would be maybe a 1d6 still, but with a +5 BAB, and a better flurry... The idea is to rebalance the monk in toto here. [/QUOTE]I think the Monk needs more of a boost a low and mid levels (would starting with a 1d8 of damage make him a better combatant than a Fighter? Hah). Even with a Monks Belt, the L12 Monk in my campaign could not keep up with the L12 Fighter in terms of damage, and certainly not in terms of survivability. If the Monk is supposed to be a "glass cannon" he needs more damage, not less.[/QUOTE] He needs to hit more often, not less. Once he's hitting at the same frequency as a Ranger of the same level, then the lower damage is offset by actually dealing the damage for a change. [/QUOTE]
