You are simply countering any specific point I make about problems with you monk by amending your monk more and more.  Didn't you think of this before you posted the monk?I don't play horror games.  The person in the back is not picked off that easily.  There is no cleric in the posted (and reposted) party.  Your tatic might work, if you explained it this way in the first place, but I don't think you can charge in, grapple, stun, carry target off, and move out of sight on a partial action.  The rules I will use to back this up are on page 137 of the PH, grappling.  You must make an attack while grappling to do one of the following....  This seems to say that your first attack is just grabbing them, the next attack is damaging them.  Problem: you only have one attack.  Also, you must escape the pin before taking a move.  No dragging away in partial charge, or really in a full attack.</blockquote>
