[QUOTE="Lord Zardoz, post: 4021506, member: 704"] I am not seeing a whole lot in this tactic that requires a monk. There is not a whole lot keeping a Str based fighter build with high Dex from doing things similar to this. - Unless the monk takes a level dip, most mundane reach weapons are martial. This means burning a feat to use the weapon without penalty. - A Monk may use tumble to get to a prefered target. A Fighter could go with improved Overrun and just plow through the opposition. - A fighter can go for a high AC through heavy armour and a Shield, and mitigate the slow movement by being mounted (incidentally covering a larger area than the Monk). Alternately, the Fighter can go for Combat expertise and offset the AC loss by trading on his BaB. The only thing I see a monk having an edge on is with the high movement rate. A fighter with mounted combat helps with that, but mounts are not so handy indoors. But there has got to be more to it than that for you to be promoting a Dex monk using reach attacks. So what is it?
