Message: <blockquote data-quote="Flamestrike" data-source="post: 7705075" data-attributes="member: 6788736">Why?There is literally no difference between an Open Hand Monk 5 (Vuman, GWM and Weapon Master feats) and a Kensai 5.A Kensai (using a greatsword) loses access to martial arts, just like the OHM does.Both get to make 2 x Greatsword attacks (Attack action) using GWM if they like with thier action.Both cant use [bonus action] attack via martial arts when they do so. Both can still use flurry for two more attacks though (but the damage is only 1+Str and they cant use Dex).The Kensai can use his bonus action to wuss slap anything he hit this round dealing an extra 1d4 bludgeoning damage (instead of spamming 2 weak furry attacks). The OHM can impose OHM conditions on anyone he hit with his two weak OHM flurry attacks.Both can spam stunning strike on every attack that hits. Both can use their bonus action to cleave if they kill something or crit something with their swords (instead of flurrying or the kensai wuss slapping).The Kensai gets to use Dex if he wants for the Greatsword attacks (but not the unarmed flurries). The OHM is forced to use Strength for everything.Its just clunky and poorly executed.</blockquote>
