[QUOTE="Gizzard, post: 288773, member: 527"] Sounds like a job for Bull Rush. Wouldnt it be great if you could push people a little sideways instead of just straight back? That would teach little wussy Monks to stand in the way of a big burly Fighter on a narrow rope bridge. ;-) Overrun should work too, probably even better. Has it only been 2 threads? I've seen these threads ever since I became a Monk. I think "2 years" is closer to correct than "2 threads". ;-) One thing that does fascinate me is that each thread definitely has its own personality. One thing that bugs me about these high-STR Monks is that they have even less Monk flavor than regular Monks. I look at that guy and think - could I make a Barbarian who does this same trick just as well? Give him the rocket Boots and the Spring Attack feat chain, then use his base 40' move to bounce in and out of combat. (Of course, the Barbarian would probably rather just stick in combat and dish out damage.) Still, when people are arguing (sensibly, I think) that a good way to make a Monk is to ignore his two prime attributes and not worry about losing out on the basic Monk abilities - well, I think that shows better than anything that there is something seriously wrong with the Monk as-is.
