Ok, I'm trying to set up a game, and I want to make a sheet with every little houserules I want to implement before then.
Now, after visiting some forums and other chatrooms, I heard that monk, in 3rd edition, were kinda frail. This is mostly because they had to invest in several more attributes than most other classes. What I want to do here is to give them something extra that would give them an edge, and more worthwhile to play. My intend is this: instead of having 3/4 attack bonus like a cleric, I would give them full attack bonus like a fighter. This would give them more attacks (up to 6 attacks, at level 20) and it would make them more reliable in general. I want opinions on this. |
