honestly, DMs just cheese it and kill it off anyway. or at least the last 3 GROUPS (all different DMs) for whatever reason, everything always made the save. Always. Well, there was one DM, that where the very first time I used it, it worked. I tell him my following attack and everyone else gets advantage (which he was taken aback, he didn't realize that would happen), which promptly killed said orc, then suddenly it just never worked again. The thing that kills me is...I just like monks. I am not trying to min max or break a system, I just really like them, and DMs don't get, that stun is basically to save our butts. Our AC is good, but its not that good and just a few hits generally can kill us, plus the idea is not to try and dominate the combat, but to assist the others. But make an ability never work and constantly getting punished makes the game just zero fun to play. (please DMs, just be honest and tell a player if you don't want that kind of role or mechanic. Don't just "allow" it and then turn around and make it useless and even worse, use it as a reason to punish the player.)

I had my DM sighing whenever I used Divine Smite. " That's... 9 slashing and 18 radiant damage, for a total of 27. Now for my second attack... Oh! Natural 20!"

Thanks to you, I started as a Halfling monk at my new adventure this week.

Lol to the catch bullets portion. It's true you can yeah. Can even deflect a boulder thrown by a giant. Might not be able to catch it to throw back but if the giant's boulder/rock throw whatever the name of the attack is again rolls low damage, you have a chance to negate the damage completely. But while that might be a cool and impressive feat the first time, you not going to do that the second time with the next rock coming your way. At least if you are one of the core monks anyway since one reaction only vs what the Cobalt Souls get.

Love this video so much! You are brilliant Marisha! Everybody who plays a monk should do themselves a favor and remember to pick up a shortbow and some arrows. There will be times when you can't close the distance to any enemy or it is just unwise to do that. Having the ranged option is always nice.

Way of the long death. Make your DM weep tears of blood.

I loved this one.

1:54 The d4 is also for monk weapons, not just unarmed attacks. Which means your monk weapon, such as a quarterstaff, can scale with your martial arts die too.

Yep, even just the attack+unarmed bonus gets you 2d10 at high levels. That’s pretty good. Add some fighter and the duelist style from level 2 fighter, and you have 3d10+2. With max str, and barb rage, you can do 3d10+23 or something. Obviously this isn’t the most damage you can do, but if you don’t realize that the damage scales, or that it applies to weapons, it’s a whole lot. Personally, I’d go for the drunken master level 17 effect with 2 levels of fighter for a total of 7d10+37.

Monks seem pretty freakin great omg

"You can count". . . No, if work today was any indication, no I cannot. XD

THANKS. I AM STARTING A NEW CAMPAIGN IN 4 days AND I'M PLAYING MONK and this is helpppppfullll

I feel the cheese. Never change CR ;)

That moment when you realize boulders that giants throw are projectiles. MONKS

I am playing a Goliath Monk right now, and it is so much damn fun. I had a really tough time choosing my style (Daredevil/Batman, Avatar, drunken master, IP man etc.) but in the end settled for shaolin monk style, but kind of clumsy and heavy handed due to being a young goliath.

Dodging as a bonus action after attacking? Sounds awesome.

I played a hill dwarf way of 4 elements class and I have had so much fun. Stunning strike Iis my favorite class ability. Stunned enemy cant do much and everyone that attacks have advantage, amazing.

Best video in the history of videos. Ever. 👌

My favorite HH so far

the dodging at 0:40 reminds my of falconhoofs adventure call

such a good video!

Now all that’s left is the Blood Hunter

This class was sold to me hearing her say catching bullets.

Just rolled a monk! Excited!!
