Question: are monks good in dnd?
Answer: Monks are great in D&D 4e (and the main good thing out of the PHB3). D&D 5e. The 5e monk is more than viable (unlike all the monks before 4e) but in combat from fifth level onwards Stunning Fist is a massively better use of their Ki Points than literally anything else they could do. ... The open handed monk is decent.
