      @@TheSinisterheroes When played correctly a Way of the Shadow Monk is a lot of fun to play. I've played a Shadow Monk twice, so far ( +one in BG3 ). I like multi classing with Rogue Assassin.

    You may not turn into unsuspecting little critter, but you can spam Pass without Trace more than any Druid can.

    Ok today I have 5 character concepts for you all and today's inspiration for all of them is TMNT (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) and we are starting off with Leonardo this character's name is Luke Softshell a Tortle Shadow monk who was trained and raised alongside his 3 younger brothers by their father and mentor figure (name undecided) Luke is the serious and stoick one out of him and his brothers and was chosen by their master to lead the group and Luke always constantly hounds and reminds his brothers about their father's lessons usually to the annoyance of them and he is very overprotective of his family and always thinks of their well-being first often to his own detriment and now an evil rival of his master is threatening the safety of his family and now has to rally his brothers and get everyone to band together to defeat their master's old friend turned enemy Luke Softshell is Lawful good

    Shadow Monk ki-Spells are a great spread. Though very often waived, Minor Illusion does requires Material Component: Fleece. While fleece can easily be obtainable, if you don't ever want to worry about it, grab the background Feat, Scion of the Outer Planes so you can cast it without any Material Components.
    There are tons of tools to take out foes, martial or magical. You'd also want a Bullseyes Lanturn when traveling to keep close Darkness while holding a light source.
    I would make a Loxodon a Shadow Monk. So we ain't going to talk about the Elephant in the room. The Trunk can make an Unarmed attack or hold the lanturn.

      @jamesdeer3129 Material Components are not required for the Spells except for Minor Illusion. Even in Playtest 6.

    • @xiongray
      @xiongray 6 місяців тому

      @jamesdeer3129 Yes. There's no material component discount for "Additionally, you gain the Minor Illusion if you don't already know it."

    • @xiongray
      @xiongray 6 місяців тому

      @jamesdeer3129 Minor Illusion requires S, M. Shadow Monk's Shadow Art removes Material for Darkness, Darkvision, Pass without Trace, & Silence. This leaves Darkness with V. Silence, Pass without Trace, & Darkvision with both V, S. The Silence Spell is incredible to counter Mages. Sure, you run the risk of losing Concentration with Darkness, Pass without Trace, or Silence but Monk's eventually gain proficiency in all Saving Throws with Diamond Soul at 14th level.
      If you wanted cover the other Spell Components, go for a little multiclass since we cannot grab the Feat: Metamagic Adept because its prerequisites are: Spellcasting or Pact Magic feature, which despite Shadow Monk's knowing how to cast spells, they do not have Spellcasting Feature and are not Spellcasters. Two levels in Artificer and grab the Infusion: Replicate Magic Item for the common Magic Item: Mind Crystal (Subtle), replicating Metamagic: Subtle Spell. Once a day is good enough but the best part is, after use, it creates a gem with a static value of 50g.
      I'd also pick up the Infusion: Mind Sharpener on some Robes so should I fail a Concentration CON Save, I'll succeed automatically with a Reaction. 4 charges and recharges 1d4 daily at dawn. As an Artificer, you could get really creative with Magical Tinkering & Prestidigitation and other Cantrips.

      Lore wise it makes sense, also with there weapon training you could use the rapier as a monk weapon, because they always have proficiency with it. So it works really well
