[QUOTE="Plane Sailing, post: 2664775, member: 114"] Don't you believe it! My monk loves his power attack goodness (even though our DM house rules it so that it is 1-1 even for 2H weapons). Every time you get a flank, or charge, or get higher ground you can convert the hit bonus to damage. If you charge into a flanking position with higher ground you could turn your +5 to hit into +10 damage with the standard rules (as long as your BAB is 5+. Works cinematically with Cleave too. Regarding other good Monk feats: Improved Grapple is fantastic, especially for low level strong monks, since their BAB is only a point below fighters... this really gives them the edge. Martial Weapon Proficiency. Shouldn't be overlooked. My human Monk started at 1st level with MWP-Glaive (for big 2H reach damage) and he could used his unarmed attack on those who closed to within 5ft. It also meant that archers couldn't just 5ft step away from him and shoot with impunity :) [/QUOTE]
