Title: Finding a Super MONK Build
Post by: Endarire on August 12, 2017, 01:40:58 AM: Greetings, all!

I recall reading on MinMaxBoards (possibly posted by SorO_Lost) about a Monk build (the PHB class) that used a variety of alternative class features, feats, and items to, at level 7, be super effective compared to a normal Monk. I don't recall what the build or post was called nor where to find it; therefore, what and where is this?

Is that all?

And how does the full build compare to an unarmed Swordsage?

It was also good to read these other things!

Just beware of word typos.

Fixed it, also since I'm more "Dragon friendly", I added the claw combo to the suggestions list.

Just remember to only grab the level 7. 3 is an actual trade (worth considering, depending on the campaign/your race) and 12 is strictly worse.
