[QUOTE="Helldritch, post: 8035057, member: 6855114"] Ok... Here is a scenario that happened in my game. 12th level monk. Magic Items: Gauntlet of ogre power, ring of protection, night vision gogles and amulet of health. He drank a potion of growth. (or he could get the enlarge spell by a friend). Dex: 20, Wisdom 15. Feats: Mobility (for being human), Mage Killer. The monk has both athletics and accrobatics. The monk needs to get to get to the evil wizard. She goes straigth to him and try to grapple. The Mage is grappled. Mage tries to get out by casting misty step. Opportunity attack from the monk, spell fails. Round two. Monk brings the mage around for his whole movement toward the group, walks on the walls, because she can, and at the end of her movement, punches the poor sod for 2 attacks because grappled creatures can only attack with small weapons (she used his bonus action to move as his move was halved since the wizard was not two size smaller than her). She keeps the grapple (no action required), other players smash the mage and it is over for the bad guy. Round three, the monk runs, takes a grapple on the big fighter with a two handed sword (champion NPC). Succeeds because she has the advantage for growth and gauntlet. The figther tries to get away but fails. The monk happily punches the hell out of the fighter with four attacks and moves away from the main fight as to be alone with the fighter. It took a while but the monk got out the best out of this combat as the players were attacking other enemies around. The monk shut down two important enemies without any problem. He took a beating against the fighter but the fighter had to use a dagger to fight the monk. Every try to get away from the grapple used up his attack sequence. The two handed sword was irrelevant as the grappled fighter could not use it. He was reduced to using a dagger for 1d4+5 dmg... Yes, it was a perfect case scenario. But strangely, it happens a lot with monks. Edit : modified the pronouns. For some reason the auto corrector was putting he instead of she... vo figure... Ps: And do not tell her. She would punch me... [/QUOTE]
