I'll use our new world tree barb as that is the easiest subclass at the moment. I think you had 12 con for your monk so I'll assume 12 dex for this barb. So 26 strength, 24 con, 12 dex. I'll assume rage and reckless attack constantly because that's what barbs do!AC: 18 (disadvantage)HP: 265 + 20 THP world tree bonus + 168 (relentless rage bonus, see below)Attack: +14 (Adv)Damage: Greatsword with Graze: 2d6+12, 8 on a miss. The weapon will also have the topple property on it from the World Tree's power, though its a bit hard to model that with just a quick white room.Barb vs Dragon: 34.855 DPRDragon Attacks versus Barb (Bite + 2 claw + 3 Tail): +17 with adv (only missing on a 1).Dragon Vs Barb: 73.725 DPRSo in terms of the barb's relentless rage, any damage that he went below 0 is a factor to the tank. If we use the claw as the standard damage for the dragon at 19 damage a swing, that means on the 3rd swing the barb went to -17 (with a 40 hp tank), so we are tanking an extra 17 damage on each relentless rage. So that's an extra 51 hp of soak. Not a perfect estimate, we might be giving the barb a bit more than its due but on the other hand we have completely ignored the topple ability which could have prone the dragon at some point and let the barb not reckless attack, so lets just go with it. Factoring in the probabilities of getting multiple relentless rages, it comes down to 168 extra hp of tank.Under this model, barb goes 6 round with the dragon, doing 209.13 total damage.But yeah you can see even I wag the relentless rage a bit it doesn't really change the math too much, ultimately the monk would do a lot more damage to this dragon than the barb will, and survive longer.</blockquote>
