[QUOTE="Clyde Lee Graham, post: 6109458, member: 6705729"] There is something to be said for "Is this the right system for me," but this isn't a huge difference from 1st ed. AD&D even... AC 20 is roughly the equivalent of AC0, IIRC. I would also ask, is this Monk actually contributing much to the fights? They're good at not being hit, but their ability to do damage is quite low. I've played that character in D&D 3.5... it got very frustrating once we started fighting opponents that weren't medium humanoids. I could be obnoxious with trip, but try tripping something with four legs, or larger than medium, and I was useless against anything with DR greater than what I could bypass. Also, as I noted before, they can't AoO with the bow *yet* and they gave up Evasion as well. Yes, this character is over-optimized but I don't think it will be a huge problem. They become the character that gets ignored so the bad guys can geek the Mage and the Healer first. What that Monk could be good at is tumble into flank and aid another for another character... though if they want to be obnoxious there, they should be a Halfling. [/QUOTE]
