[QUOTE="pming, post: 7476470, member: 45197"] Hiya! Yes, I know the Attack + Bonus Action Attack is from level 1. And yes, at 5th he gets an Extra Attack. So that's three. And that's the limit. Three. Respectable, sure, but he has to use a very limited amount of his Ki points to do that...and at 5th level, what is that...3 maybe? (don't have the book at hand). After a Monk uses all his Ki abilities he starts to look like a masochist. To me, a Monk should get consistent attacks based on level, and they should be getting more attacks than anyone else (open hand here). Their damage should be "ok", start at 1d4 and maybe climbing to something like 3d6 or 2d10 at 20th. I'd be happy with pretty much leaving everything else as-is, really...remove the Ki abilities to get 'more attacks', obviously...as the Ki points used for pulling off special stuff seems like it would be about right. Of course, it would have to be specifically mentioned that when a monk uses his Open Handed Attack number and damage they can't use any other 'thing' that says "uses an Attack action"; Open Handed Attack would be the special case. If a monk wants to use a lajatang, fine, but he drops to his maximum of 2 attacks a round and does 1d10 slashing (or was a lajatang from 1e OE more of a piercing weapon?...1e didn't distinguish the whole S/P/B stuff). Anyway, as I said, for ME, the Monk is the only one that felt like a bit of a let down for it's key monk'ness. I do however love the addition of the Ki for doing special stuff related to the Monks 'school' (Shadow or Elemental is it?). That's some cool shpoot there! :) ^_^ Paul L. Ming [/QUOTE]
