[QUOTE="GreyLord, post: 5742726, member: 4348"] I've taken out bears with a Bow in hunting...that said...unless I'm the one hunting, I'm not facing down a grizzely with a 12 guage...you can take that 12 guage and go yourself!!!! (A black bear which is smaller than a Grizzley was shot right through the heart...kept going for another half mile almost!) @ dannyAlc Yes, my context is the typical party setting (I think a majority do RPGs that way) against a typical BBEG spellcaster and his personal bodyguard or NPC's he keeps around him. Not really another PC optimized to fight other PC's and such, but the BBEG who plans on taking over the world or nation...or whatever you want. And I still see the Monk as perhaps the Mage Killer in that light...which is why I tried the BBEG as a corrupted Druid tonight. It goes another session since they didn't even get a fifth of the way through the adventure anyways, so no attacking the Druid anyways. It should prove more interesting as he'll have all of nature on his side if they assail his place of sanctity. So far they've just killed a bunch of his mooks and are sneaking around all over the place...currently making holes (or tunnels I suppose you could say) in the ground below the forest as the snoop around. Monk loves his Stunning Fist. Did fine overall with melee...terrible facing creatures that could only really be hit by magic or ranged weapons (flying stuff) in relation to what things he could do. Half Orc Ranger about bought it this session though. [/QUOTE]
