Monk with Maximized Attacks

Claudius · #1 (**permalink**) 01-06-2007, 06:30 PM

I was thinking of a character for normal mode (would be obsolete by HOF as no spells)...

Fighter4/MonkX

I take the 4 fighter levels for maximized attacks (need Weapon Specialize).
Now when he is monk 16 he does 20 points + bonus in damage (1d20 does 20).

Do you think this makes up for slowing the monk special abilities by 4 levels?

A fighter4/monk16 does more damage with a good weapon (like the "massive halberd of hate" or "greatsword of the soulless+5") than with fists, even when "maximized attacks" is enabled.

I haven't tested out the math but I'll take your word for it! Also the thought occured to me that a level 20 monk would do more base damage with fists! I think monk is either a pure in normal mode or a mix-in for some special things.

ps thanks for bringing me back to sanity before I waste game time with wrong party!
