Their offensive ability, at level 1, is pretty great since they add their Str or Dex to both of those. That, alone, puts their average damage per round at or above the damage of a level 1 Raging Barbarian's DPR. Right about on-line to a level 1 Fighter, and slightly above the damage of a level 1 Ranger...The real issue isn't that 3rd attack at level 2 that is pretty tempting. It's the opportunity cost of Dodge compared to maintaining their DPR, which a Barbarian doesn't have to choose between.Monks should've been able to spend 1 ki to activate Dodge as a Reaction to being attacked.Eh. shrugs I don't think it's needed.</blockquote>
