Optimized Monk Build, Monks in Dungeons & Dragons

After many moons I return with this optimized build for a Monk! Is this the best build in the game!? Nope, but its a start!

InB4, I left my mic in the shot the entire time!

Shadar-Kai, way of Shadow monk. Double down on stealth, two types of teleportations, and mobility with the Mobile feat.

I just recently made my first ever build, a half elf way of the four elements monk. Because of the story the dm made, every member of our party was granted one wish. Mine was to double my max number of ki points. I’m currently at level five so I have ten ki points. When I chose way of the four elements, I picked water whip as my first elemental discipline, which takes 2 ki points to do 3d10 and you can get another 1d10 for every ki point you use after that, so I can potentially deal 11d10 in one turn at level five, which I’m really proud of for my first ever build

The second he started talking about races, I don't know why, but my immediate thought was "He's gonna say Aarakocra, isn't he?"

the best weapon you can give a monk is a 10 ft chain with something at the end it can strike at range or bind you can also wrap it around the monk for a +2 improvised armor bonus without any negatives

Tavern brawler so you can use grapple to allow for emergency lifts after punching.

That’s fun build Richard! Mobile is always an awesome Feat to consider too. Let’s you bounce around encounters with more speed, the option to avoid opportunity attacks when you a let those talons fly.

I can't believe a DM would allow flying innately from race

Unarmored movement increases the fly speed as well. It increases any movement speed.

I consider the mobile feat a must-have for monks. If you don’t care for a specific race (for roleplay, etc), Tabaxi make the best monks. And try to convince your DM to eventually give you a Dragonhide belt.

My personal favourite is a Half-Orc Open Hand monk, Relentless Endurance gives survivability, Orcish Fury and Savage Attacker boost damage output pretty nicely, and prone/stun when your crits hit that hard are absolutely brutal status effects.

My human monk is actually the scout of my group (but whe send each time the rouge at the lead, who has a lower preception^^).
He has AC 16. Didnt use weapon. Profience in stealth, sleight of hand, preception and acrobatic (all +5) and passive preception 15 plus passive insight of 13.
He would be a sun soul monk with lvl 3 (didnt use weapon and drunk didnt fit the personality of the chara^^), and would i give him observant, he would have a passive preception to 20 and passive investigation from 15.

I feel that arracockra is the wrong choice for drunken master. Drunken master relies on being in the thick of the melee in order to redirect attacks, and arracockras are best while in the air? If you already have the flight, kensai monk might be better as you can have a range attack (bow).

Drunken master suits a halfling more I think

Personally, I like the ground speed of Tabaxi for monk. And I would use that with either monk of Mercy or Astral self, wish should befeaturing soon in Tasha's

I would probably just take the asi for wisdom over savage attacker. The damage out out isn’t that much better without it only adding an additional point to damage rolls on average, where as higher wisdom boosts ac and your saving throws

Good stuff. Thank you for posting. I just started my first 5e Monk. Having fun so far!

Nice build.
I had my build go Way of the long death.
Unlimited FEAR? Yes please!
Now have the party pick off the enemies who can't advance and have disadvantage with ranged weapons!

Kensei bird monk? Fly 59 feet in air with long bow and kensei's shot so the bonus action is not wasted? Win.

would of been nice to have a screenshot of dnd beyond or a character sheet. Even some text in the video that shows what your saying.

Just joined a campaign who’s at level 4 already, and I’m rolling a Kensei Monk, and dipping into Fighter for Battlemaster.
