     Rolled up a monk for Mines of Phandelver and just finished our first game. First encounter I got hit pretty bad with an arrow right  off the bat and took 5 damage off my ten HP. I realized I didn't want to rush into anything and get killed, and our rogue and ranger had it handled in a couple rounds.  The unarmed attack bonus action was sweet, allowing me to one-hit two Goblins. We were all able to level up and now I have access to Ki and an extra ten feet of movement. I'm stoked for next Friday. Hopefully we'll be able to level again so I can choose Way of Shadow and also deflect those damn arrows.

I'm currently playing in a conversion of the Age of Worms adventure path, and one of the other players has been playing a shadow monk since the beginning. He's been loving it. He's always asking if there's any dim light so he can shadow step. LOL.

     Yeah, I see myself having fun with this character. I really get stuck in Clerics or Mages, kinda rad to play a sort of spy/assassin. With a 27 point buy in I did STR 10, DEX 16, CON 14, INT 10, WIS 16, CHA 8.  Out of curiosity, what were your guys' abilities to start.

Removed baiting, which is against the Code of Conduct.

Keep it civil.

I have posted "Radar O'Reilly" in the Monk Guide.  He is the L1 basis for my own 5e character, Erev'yn.

 

Goal 1: multiple attacks (taken care of via Martial Arts and Flurry of Blows).  Because I hate rolling bad on to-hit and being useless for the round.

Goal 2: max Perception.  Gotta m/c Rogue1 for Expertise(Perception), then take a feat - either Observant or Skulker - based on how he misses information that he should have detected.

Goal 3: some kind of Striker nova capability, just in case.  Soloing Tiamat on Round One might be fun...

Goal 4: plays well with others.  Teamwork is more fun than several solo stars trying and failing individually at a task
