[QUOTE="doctorbadwolf, post: 8034939, member: 6704184"] They're not wrong. The Monk can't really be stopped from getting to their target, IME, without extreme measures that burn enemy resources, at which point the monk just [I]kills some other target[/I]. But most of the time, the Monk, especially one with Mage Slayer, can get in, kill the enemy Mage, and get out. They might need a heal after, but not as often as they get out mostly unharmed due to their mobility and the fact that they are punching the most dangerous enemy in the face every time they try to zap someone, and have advantage on saves against spell from enemies within 5 feet, and Evasion. I have done some one-shot gameplay with a longsword-weilding kensei monk with Magic Initiate, Mobile, and Mage Slayer, and it's brutal for the enemy mages. I will say this, though.
