[QUOTE="Todd Roybark, post: 8050022, member: 6920677"] No one on DDB, at least...should I therefore discount the opinion of everyone that plays in the shallow end of the pool. According to DDB everyone starts at 3rd level as well. Bloody Tourists! 😉 How is the Rogue getting Sneak Attack? What are the opportunity costs to this...etc, etc...see my prior post regarding a similar assertion to this earlier in this thread. Also a Monk has the [I]easiest[/I] time of any class switching back and forth from Melee and Ranged Attacks. Good Monks will often do both, ranged and melee attacks. I do as well. Comp Lang is a [I]literal translation, though. [/I] The french term for "Orgasm" translates into English as "the little death". Phrases in Russian translated literally into english, sound crazy, as do Spanish Idioms. Comp Lang is [I]not[/I] the Tongues spell You mean that [I]all casters always have a spare 3rd level slot[/I] for a Tongues spell? Unless you have Arcane Recovery, or a scroll factory, spell slots are a premium expenditure. Can a rogue or fighter cause a creature to automatically fail their STR and DEX Saving Throws? A Monk stuns an aboleth, the Wizard and Lore Bard both drop Fireballs on it. Legendary (RE)Actions don't even come into play. Does Treantmonk take aspects like the stun/auto fail on Saving Throws into consideration...no. Do Treantmonk's simulations, like his Dancing Light presentation, take place in great white, two dimensional plains akin to the novel Flatland....indeed they do. So if you play in Flatland, (which is a fine place, no judgement), Monks suck. If you don't play in Flatland....being able to run on nearly anything is [I]fvcking cool[/I]. Also based off the Alt Class Features U/A and the Feats U/A.....there is a good chance that [I]all[/I] Monks will be able to chose weapons that will become Monk Weapons, and characters of [I]all races[/I] will be able to chose a feat that grant Expertise in one skill.
