[QUOTE="doctorbadwolf, post: 8035004, member: 6704184"] The build doesn't require the feats to "come together", they just add to it. I've never been stuck in the midst of the enemies as a monk, unless I chose to be there (such as with my shadar-kai monk teleporting into their midst and becoming insubstantial until the start of his next turn, killing his intended target, and then soaking some damage before getting back out of there). Regarding the part of your post replying to someone else; Stunning strike on a legendary creature can often be [I]vastly[/I] more valuable than dealing more damage. When it isn't, you just hit more instead. The monk has that option. Also, the monk as anti-caster is...something that I've been seeing literally since 5e launched, so...no. It's not any sort of "after the fact justification". It's simply something the monk is very, very, good at. None of which requires any especial system mastery. I've seen plenty of noobs play monks very effectively without any more help building than I'd give to a barbarian player. [/QUOTE]
