Yeah, but in Monk mechanics that's not true, that's my point lol.longsword is better than a fist.

I guess, assuming you have a Monk subclass that lets you use a longsword as a Monk weapon.it's d10 damage, martial arts catches up at 17th to that.
like, every monk?I guess, assuming you have a Monk subclass that lets you use a longsword as a Monk weapon.
More likely it was the elf factor.I guess, assuming you have a Monk subclass that lets you use a longsword as a Monk weapon.
No?like, every monk?
Elf makes him proficient, but doesn't make it a Monk weapon, and it's literally inferior (drastically inferior, even) to a shortsword for a Monk if it's not a Monk weapon.More likely it was the elf factor.
yes, longsword is from elf, and because of monks dedicated weapon(2nd level Monk) it's chosen as monk weapon.No?
They get simple weapons and shortswords. Elves are proficient in longswords, but it doesn't count as a Monk weapon, so they can't use it alongside Unarmed Strike, and thus do very poorly with it unless they have a class which makes longsword a Monk weapon.
Monk weapon and proficient weapon are two different things. You literally cannot use the main DPS mechanic of a Monk when armed with a longsword (unless you're a Kensei who selected longsword or similar).
Yeah I'd forgotten Tasha's added that. For some reason I was assuming this was long ago too lol.yes, longsword is from elf, and because of monks dedicated weapon(2nd level Monk) it's chosen as monk weapon.
I know that "tier 1" means something very different in 5e from what it means in 3.P, but this still made me do a double take!Tier 1 Monks
I am pretty sure the least successful edition of D&D was Holmes Basic. What expectations did it violate?Its to be noted that the least successful incarnation of D&D was so not because it was badly designed, but because it violated the expectations of its extent base too much. That's not an atypical situation.
Those are the estimates I was able to find. Is the 5E DMG available in pdf? Someone with the right Adobe product could verify that.Surely that can't be right? Lost Mine of Phandelver is approx 55000 words, so the DMG has to be much more than 80k.
