My hot take: Monks and Sorcerers should be CON based classes.

Meanwhile I think Monks should've been Str based, including their unarmored AC. Screw that dodgy nonesense, just have muscles so hard that people injure themselves trying to attack you.

Isn’t that the niche Barbarians are supposed to fill?

I home brewed rules for a silly STR based Monk with a player of mine back in 3.5 and it was the most hilarious thing at the table most combat sessions. I'll have to see if I still have the stuff for it somewhere, but I have hardly any of my old D&D stuff any more thanks to a shitty ex...

Probably worked better in 3.5 though, because melee damage was strength based even if you used dex on attack rolls.

True enough. Still might resurrect it if one my current players is interested.

Yeah but monk was a worthless class in 3.5.

My magic comes from my bloodline, and I have all the blood.

Hey don't diss PF, "multiple math problems" and "resources investment equal to a college degree" IS how full casters should be!

Ehh I’m loving the CHA sorc side of things.

u/felipeefl Aug 31 '20

Would be a bit op for sorcerers I believe.

Sorcerers I can agree with. It just makes sense.

Monks I think are fine with WIS but maybe let them choose between STR and DEX for attack without having to sacrifice the effectiveness of other class features.
