Message: <blockquote data-quote="Wolfen Priest" data-source="post: 301477" data-attributes="member: 3909">If we are willing to "bend the rules" for argument's sake enough to let the monk spring attack, run off and hide, wait ten minutes, rinse, repeat, (without giving the giant any chance to watch him to see where he's hiding in this "open area" they're supposedly fighting in), then we can "bend the rules" enough to let the giant stand there like a big (but patient) idiot, readying an action the whole time, until the monk comes back around the bend once more, and let him simply smash the monk in the face.It's just not realistic that a monk would be able to do this (guerilla warfare crap), since the giant also has a very good movement rate, and, if the monk is so well-hidden, then he wouldn't be able to know where the giant is!  The giant could just as easily run around the bend and stand there waiting.  Any DM who would allow a monk to wear down and kill a giant like this might as well retire, IMO.  I honestly don't think any single DM would actually allow a monk PC to actually pull that off.The giant would ready an action and simply slaughter the monk, proving, once more, that we still haven't identified the actual *strengths* of the monk class, short of saving throws (and thus general survivability), <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f644.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":rolleyes:" title="Roll eyes    :rolleyes:"  data-smilie="11"data-shortname=":rolleyes:" /> in which case you might as well sit home and smoke your pipe, ala Bilbo Baggins.</blockquote>
