[QUOTE="Gammadoodler, post: 8589418, member: 6914290"] Aaand without gear? Aaaaand hp set as equal? Aaaaand actually addressing the 5th level and 11th level comparisons solicited? Maybe just generally engaging with the spirit of the comparison. Gear is not a class feature. If WOTC published "Gauntlets of monken invincibility and infinite spellcasting" it is no reflection on monk class progression. Put all the same gear you've listed on an 11th barbarian or fighter, and I submit you've got a character who is not meaningfully less capable beyond the ability to take a punch. But hey, all you have done is put a combination of some of the most powerful gear published, on the martial class with one of the best capstones and then make sure to have that character at max level to get that capstone. This is certainly a fair representation of what most high level martials can expect. [/QUOTE]
