[QUOTE="LokiDR, post: 298342, member: 6239"] Don't get me wrong. I am not saying what I have to try to keep monks down. I want them to be just a viable as any other class. My qualms about monks and poison come from the three places: the lawful alignment requirement of the monk class, all the historical groups the monk is based on, and how the monk described in the PH. The law says poison is illegal. Lawfull alignment means not wanting to creat chaos. Using poison would lead to this chaos in any civilized region. Monks are based on groups like the Shao Lin monks. The tenants of these monks said that use of poison was not allowed. Monks aren't based on the historical ninja, who favor poison. Monks adventure to prove and better themselves. Use of poison does not prove your prowess or your courage. Poison does not better you. This is all IMHO. We obviously view the use of poison and how monks in general work. I think this will be last post on the poison issue. I think your concept of a poison using monk almost fits a LE monk, but not entirely for the reasons above. It is an interesting question, but not really on the point that monks still suck by and large at low levels. [/QUOTE]
