Pathfinder 2e monks are NOT weak! See 5 monks in action! (D&D MONKS, BUT GOOD, Part 2: Combat)

22K views • 3 years ago • 1:06:53 This is the 2nd of my three-part series, where I look at how Pathfinder 2e makes a powerful and fun monk to play. This doubles as a showcase about PF2, and to inform the design of other TTRPGs! CORRECTIONS: The usual list of corrections in an hour-long combat video (in addition to Cain not being able to trip a huge creature which I correct onscreen): -Wholeness of Body makes you choose between HP healing and counteracting a poison. (Pea would've succeeded on her save anyway... I was making the dice cruel to her!) -Pea applies Battle Medicine twice to Helen. It is limited to once per target per day.
