D&D Monk Level 1 Class Roast!

#DND #dungeonsanddragons #dnd5e
Time to roast the classes of D&D!

[leyrua]

Choose Lizardfolk as your race. Your BITE attack counts as an unarmed strike. Turn your _Flurry of Blows_ into a *FEEDING FRENZY.*

[lukasschiaffo]

Monk at lvl 1: I need HELP!

Monk at lvl 20: You need help!

[elsquisheeone]

friendly reminder that a 1d4 punch is still enough to kill a normal human in DnD

[hugozepeda]

Choose Tortle as your race and subclass into Way of the Astral Self. Name him Master Uguay. Profit.

[mrmastaofdesasta]

Well, it's not only 3 punches in 6 seconds. It is 3 punches that are strong enough that they could each easily kill a normal guy.

[snootigan]

Remember: the DMG says that Nunchucks are equivalent in stats to a Club, and that's a simple weapon right there. If you're a Monk, go all in, get you some chucks!

[dogdogdraws]

Meanwhile higher level monks just proceeding to poke a demon lord to death

[yinpayofficial]

This man's hands look like he actually went out to train in the wild and came back 6 months later and said

Monk - I'm ready to do the video

[SterneStarfrost]

All laugh until end game when his punches have the strength of the sun

[garethwilkins]

Level 1 Monk: Call an ambulance!

Level 20 Monk: But not for me!

[Pirateking]

"Worldly possessions" jokes on you my possessions are celestial

[pepelefrog]

Ah yes, mock him while he can merely punch you mock while you can

For it is only a matter of time before you cannot touch him, let alone detonate a person's life force by a mere thought. NOT to mention IMMORTALITY

[lorenzocassaro]

An easy fix for my table was to remove the limit for "bonus action attacks" on "Flurry of blows" as long as the Monk spends ki points on it.

Kinda like with Blackjack: you can keep calling cards as long as you either win or go broke trying


Works for us, at least

[superj]

And if you stay with _enlightenment_ long enough, you can drive your DM insane!

[eloy]

Those 1d4 are still better than nothing if you are going to jail (which basically most parties would do)

[The_Gentleman_Blacksmith]

Monk is the best class and no one can change my mind lol

[twilighteye]

I never knew monks should give up the weapons they picked from the creation part. And the fact that at level one you can potentially deal more damage than some of the martial classes apparently is worthless. Cool man cool

[CrudeConduct]

I played a Kensei Monk who dual wielded katanas and i easily made our paladin seem useless once I took the mobility feat. I can't comment on unarmed monks, but if you take a subclass that lets you keep your "cool worldly possessions" then you might be surprised at how powerful monks can be.

[abi_grace]

I'm taken aback by the 1d8 punching in Tasha's. It's ridiculous. Maybe they should have added brass knuckles as a martial weapon or something. At least that would make more sense.

[anstrengthkobold]

No choose a spear. Always choose a spear. It's easily the best option for utility, 1d8 damage (switching between 1 and 2 hands is a free action) and it can be thrown if necessary.

Basically start turn, switch from 1 to 2 hands, make 2 attacks, switch to 1 hand, punch, end turn ready to deflect missile.

However you should probably pick up a quarter staff, you never know when you may run into some skeletons or a creature with piercing resistance.
