A character is generally not able to beat an encounter of a level equal to his own alone. It's extreme luck if he wins. My group and I tested many level 4 characters in single combat against a Minotaur, for example. Then a Carrion Crawler. Unless a spellcaster gets initiative, he's toast; if he does, he has about a 1-in-3 chance, I figure. Maybe less. And since your odds of winning decrease with the number of opponents...Still, I'd love to see someone make a level 5 character that can take down a Troll all by his lonesome <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />I find that the best way to challenge my group is to have many lower-level opponents; otherwise, they gang up and bash. Two level 6 monks would make for a more challenging battle (depending on party status--you said they were injured already?).And finally, yes, Boots of Striding and Springing benefit EVERYONE fairly equally, since more movement = good. Ki Straps are a much more monk-oriented item, and very useful at lower levels.</blockquote>
