hey playgrounders,
my group is very low op so on the whole, we are not in need of 'class fixes' for the weaker classes.
in fact, a straight fighter is one of our strongest members.
this leads me to....
The Monk.
I haven't seen somebody play one yet, but someone might, and in the event that it breaks down even at our level, I want to be prepared.
I am curious if the following changes are enough to bump it up any.
please note, bump it up ANY, not bump it up ENOUGH, I'm not getting that deep into the process.
changes:
1. full BAB
2. can enchant body as a weapon
3. can enchahnt 'monk's outfit' as armor
and, in the interest of races with natural weapons (I'm looking at you Skarn)
perhaps changing #2 too....
2. Can enchant natural weapons as if they were normal weapons
thoughts?
suggestions?
also, for those of you about to tear into this as "the monk is way to weak to fix so simply"
there is something I need to point out about my group.
back when we had a druid, the Fighter contributed more.
we have a cleric, and the Barbarian is outperforming it.
as is my Knight
and the party alchemist
and the party rogue
probably the party fighter too.
but I digress.
basically, 99% of all classes probably arn't weak enough for the disparate power levels to become painfully aparent in my group.
however, I did tell my players never to take the soulborn or the duelist. but hey.
