Beating Batman: Sir Giacomo's Guide to Monks

[Sir Giacomo]

The Fighter does not enlarge because he is capable of doing decent damage without doing so. He still outdamages the monk.

Yes, continue to maintain that even will all the evidence piled up in front of you. Even Solo admitted it by now.

I'll freely admit that the monk doesn't need to charge, but why wouldn't he? It's a fee +2 to attack. Moving and attacking still only gets the one attack.

Yes, a monk can also charge. And from farther away. And from hiding (surprise round, partial charge).

Really? The monk out damages the monk? Incredible!

HA! That's really a good one Will correct that (only the monk can outdamage the monk, there is some truth to it...)

You really seem to be under the impression that the two are fighting with each other. We're talking practical optimisation here, not arena fighting. You're supposed to be proving that the monk is a valuable member of the team, not a PvP monster.

And now this "Giacomo posted a guide only intent for PvP" fallacy again. Why?

What exactly makes the monk a less valuable member of the team when he can
- do great damage
- do great combat tactics (grapple, improved disarm, flyby attack, great move)
- be the one to be left standing after devastating spell attacks to save the others?
- have items in his possession that greaty synergise with/benefit also others in the group? (wands, pearls of power)
- can be a great scout?
