Monks typically want high Wisdom and Dexterity while still investing a bit in Constitution. This dependence on ability scores will make it difficult to justify taking a feat if boosting a stat by two could be better. Feats that also boost stats will be extra important to a Monk.
Does mobile beat Sentinel 5e?
This is a reaction attack and not an Opportunity Attack, Sentinel wins. If Mobile attacks Sentinel, Mobile wins and NO OPPORTUNITY ATTACKS.
What stats are good for Monk?
Strength and athletics are nice for a melee-oriented character, but monks don’t really need them; meanwhile, charisma is good for ability checks, but if the party already has at least two high-charisma characters, it could easily be the monk’s dump stat.
Does a monk have any reason to take the mobile?
A fellow player suggested I take the Mobile feat (PHB, p. 168) for my monk. Is there any reason to choose the Mobile feat over another possible feat (such as Blade Mastery, Savage Attacker, Durable, Healer) for a monk since they already get increased movement?
When does Kensei Monk get the mobile feat?
Perk about mobile ( (besides have a 50 base movement)) even if you miss your attack they still can’t take an opportunity attack on you. At level 4, I had my Kensei Monk take Mobile. At level 6, it really gives her a boost to her hit-and-fade ability.
Which is the best feat for a monk?
That said, Mobile really boosts your survivability, particularly if you’re able to snag at least a couple levels in Rogue and can Dash as a bonus action. Or, if you don’t mind giving up the bonus action and a ki point, Step of the Wind. In the end, I think Mobile is the Monk’s best feat.
What happens when a monk makes a melee attack?
When you make a melee attack against a creature, you don’t provoke opportunity attacks from that creature for the rest of the turn, whether you hit or not. This is a very powerful feature for a monk especially since they can get many attacks to hit all of the enemies in melee using Flurry of Blows.
