Monk of the one strike (4e Optimized Character Build)

Introduction

This build seems to be for 4E. Please move to the appropriate section. The premise of this character is to use one insanely powerful attack and then back off for a while.

gollark: Hhahahahdahdhadhabsfhabfh no help for you.

gollark: I wasn't actually paying attention, such details are for the implementors.

gollark: Interesting.

gollark: So there's really no problem.

gollark: Anyway, your string is not `\x01` because that is not representable, see?

Highlights

As a Half-Ork, Stone Fist Monk, you focus on doing as much damage to one enemy as possible and in as little time as possible. This character is made to go straight to the biggest enemy and pound them. You can usually get to the boss the first or second turn if you do not care about OA, if you do, the movement technique of Five Storms can shift you 2 squares per move action. When you get to the big guy, use Open the Gate of Battle, and if your allies know anything of your strategy, they will not have touched him yet, allowing you to do 3d10+5(Open the gate of battle)+1d8(furious assault)+6(Stone Fist flurry of blows)=49 max damage. If the big enemy is not dead by the end of that, expect to be bloodied at leas when your allies save you.

Munchkin-Size Me

Get a Ki club as soon as possible for even more damage

Side Notes

<- overview of additional info about this build ->

Limitations

This build sucks when you must fight your way through non minion enemies to get to the boss.

DM Counters

Put many moderately powerful monsters in instead of one or two heavyweights, or put the tough enemies behind a line of defense
