[QUOTE="Gizzard, post: 300205, member: 527"] I had the same thought. Its not the Monk thats cool here; its any character with 18STR, magic Boots and Spring Attack. Not to say that the Monk doesnt have advantages here; but a lot of them aren't exactly back-breaking. Monk moves 100', Barbarian moves 80'. Whee. Tumble is cross-class for the Barbarian. OK. And so on. So is it the Monk being cool or the Boots being cool? I guess we'd find out the answer when the party kills the Monk and takes his Boots. ;-) I agree with this. I suggested 5 level 5 Monks; which is (I think) CR9+; probably too much if you dont want it to be a climactic do-or-die fight. Three level 5 Monks is CR7+; I bet they would be a little more durable than the lone level 7'er. Still, at level 5 the movement is unexceptional (40') and all the goodies that Monk fans seem to love are not yet available (Improved Trip etc.) Perhaps two level 6 Monks at CR8? I really really dont think that two level 6 Monks can pose much of a threat; but I guess that extends to most classes. Its sort of separate from the issue of Monks sucking. (Which they still do. ;-) [/QUOTE]
