Increase Monk base HP
-
I find it bizarre that monks are one of the few classes absolutely dedicated to melee, but have had their HD reduced to a d6. They were already squishy before that change, and this seems like it's unnecessarily stepping on an already subpar choice (in the current scheme of things).
Raise them back to a d8? d10?
-
This would be something that would be part of the entire rebalance if the class we want to do but haven't gotten around to.
-
They're not a d6, but a d8 class using the horrible average HP system, something we should not get into here. That explains their abysmal hp.
-
@CitizenBane they're listed as d6 in the mechanics changes. Or am I misunderstanding it?
-
They should have 6 hp per level, or is it only 4?
-
@CitizenBane its 4.
-
Monks are a d8 class. They should be getting 6 hp per level. At some point there is a class rework planned for them, much like was done for Rogue and Fighter recently and previously the Bard Song and Barbarian Rage.
-
Gross..... horrendous even. WHO THE HELL PUT THAT IDEA THROUGH?!?!?!?
-
Everyone calm down. It is not 4 hp. There was an error on the forum which has been changed.
Hit Points is worked out on an dice average and adjusted to balance out other class perks. Each level a class will be given a set point of HP. The HP average for each class is listed below:
d12- 10hp - Barbarian (Dwarven Defender)
d10- 8hp - Fighter, (Black Guard, Divine Champion, Purple Dragon Knight, Weapon Master)
d10- 7hp - Paladin
d8- 6hp - Ranger, Cleric, Druid, Monk (Arcane Archer, Shadowdancer, Shifter)
d6- 4 hp - Bard, Rogue (Assassin, Harper Scout, Pale Master, Red Dragon Dicipline)
d4- 3hp - Sorcerer, Wizard -

Sorry for the confusion :D

@Prof-Misclick much less concerning. Thank you!

Yeah. Monk are pretty awful right now. Something we will eventually address.

Monks are probably THE hardest class to balance. They're either shit or godly powerful. So... there's that

If i am to be totally honest, monks and druid is where my expertise is sadly, quite lacking. I just know that the EfU team hasn't been able to find a sweet spot with monks and they're really good at it..... so...... Monks are really hard to balance :/

So it's your fault. :astonished_face: Most of what I learned about Mechanics was at your finishing school. Those classes are not my strength either.

Closing this for now.
Cheers everyone.
