Beating Batman: Sir Giacomo's Guide to Monks

[Sir Giacomo]

No. The 4e monk won't suck, there will be no need to argue with you about it because the designers will have learned from their past mistakes. ie, the 3.5 monk.

I'd like to add that in the comparison between Solo's fighter and Giacomo's monk the fighter is one round ahead of the monk.

First round:
Fighter charges he may make one attack
Monk casts Enlarge Person

Second Round:
Fighter full attacks
Monk charges he may make one attack

Continue until the encounter is over.

See how the fighter doesn't need to waste actions fail so hard it hurts?

Well Nebo, this is exactly why I cannot take your posts seriously - they always oversimplify and distort the situation so as to make the most flashy, funny impression (all with the intent to ridicule the monk).

Why in your scenarion would the monk enlarge and the fighter not? How does in your scenario the monk need to charge when the fighter has already closed in to full attack?

My calculations above show the monk under certain circumstances even outdamages the fighter. In fact, the fighter should AVOID situations where the monk can flurry against him (so he should rather eiter attack from a distance, OR use some flyby attack/spring attack tactics).
