Immediately, you have the problem of only being able to launch one single attack on the round that you advance on the enemy.Now, that attack could be a Stunning Fist, which targets the caster's weak Fort save... except that the DC is based off of Wisdom, and to hit is based off of not-Wisdom. I have a <a href="http://www.thetangledweb.net/forums/profiler/view_char.php?cid=43680" target="_blank">level 10 monk</a> whose Stunning Fist DC is 20, which sounds nice until you realize the <a href="http://www.thetangledweb.net/forums/profiler/view_char.php?cid=33853" target="_blank">level 10 sorcerer</a> I posted earlier has a Fort save of +11. And an AC of 26 using spells whose duration is measured in hours vs the monk's attack bonus of +11. And this sorcerer isn't even that optimized, just competently built.Grappling is another caster killing tactic, but you cannot establish a grapple and pin someone to quiet them with one attack. In the best case scenario, you simply manage to initiate a grapple, which one Dimension Door or similar spell will foil.Sending the caster into negative HP with damage will not work either, as there is no way for a monk to do so. Well, you could if you multiclassed into Fighter, and took Spirited Charge, Leap Attack and Shock Trooper so you could Power Attack with a lance... but at this point, you're better off being a different class entirely.tl;dr Not even 50/50.</blockquote>
