[QUOTE="GreyLord, post: 5742738, member: 4348"] Yep, probably the class I'm playing in PF right now for the game I play in. However, they lack the mobility of the Monk typically and get closed off by others...such as those nasty little fighters or others blocking the way. Means while I'm fighting, they BBEG is buffing. I guess one could simply ignore the BBEG minions and get hit repeatedly by them while running across to try to encounter the BBEG. Monk at 15th level covers almost 3X (in some instances 4X) the same amount of space in one move though...takes a lot longer and BBEG definately has cast spells before you ever arrive...probably several (at least with my cleric builds, Dex is typically lower on my list of things I concentrate on with stats). Not fully as capable with all saves as Monk, so easier target practice for BBEG in certain spell areas as well...could buff and then hit you in a weak area as you try to reach the BBEG, saying you can actually Bullrush past his defending henchmen in the first place. So mage is much better prepared overall, which to me means less of a chance of taking down the Mage. I suppose you could attack from a far distance, but not as many spell options for the class I'm thinking of then. For the BBEG, I'd favor the quickstrike before they have a chance to have multiple buffs/defenses up...that's when the spellcaster is weakest. [/QUOTE]
