STR increases to hit and damage

It’s a single player game, so if you want your protagonist to be the weakest character in your party, that’s up to you, but why?


This is true because Monks use Dex for Quarterstaff and Spear.

You of course want to dump charisma to emulate your Master.

I haven't played a Monk in 5e, but it will be interesting to see the Larian Monk buffs on the 7th.
