Can monks end their turn on a wall?
1 Answer. The monk must end its movement for each turn on solid ground or fall.
Can a monk run up a waterfall?
unless RAW the Monk Class, states that you must end your movement on a flat surface, then as long as you keep moving on your next turn action, then you are not going to fall.
How does a monk fall during a move?
The monk doesn’t fall during the move when moving this way. A character’s move doesn’t span turns; it’s something they do during their turn. Thus, at the end of the monk’s turn, their move ends, and if they aren’t standing on something solid, they fall.
Can a 9th level monk move along solid ground?
The monk must end its movement for each turn on solid ground or fall. Unarmored Movement, PHB p. 78, emphasis mine: At 9th level, you gain the ability to move along vertical surfaces and across liquids on your turn without falling during the move. The monk doesn’t fall during the move when moving this way.
Why does the monk’s unarmed movement feature work?
My reading of the intent of the monk’s Unarmed Movement feature is that it limits the distance a monk can travel up a vertical surface (or over liquid) without an intervening solid, horizontal surface. The easiest way to do that is to confine these intervals to the movement on the monk’s turn.
Can a monk carry over wall running from turn to turn?
Likewise for monks, the DM may rule that they can ‘carry over’ unused ‘wall running’ movement from turn to turn. Of course, because of other aspects of the 5th Edition turn system, which allows characters to act, move, and be moved in between their turns, these options can introduce many other areas where the DM would need to make rulings.
