Here, we see what our five very different monk builds from Parts 1 + 2 can look forward to at higher levels, and conclude with a breakdown of HOW EXACTLY Pathfinder 2e succeeded at making monks, varied, balanced, and fun.
This is Part 3 of a three-part series, "D&D Monks, But Good" about the Pathfinder 2e monk. I do it to showcase Pathfinder 2e and also to show TTRPG designers some solutions and mechanics that I think are effective at achieving PF2E's design goals.

This is the 1st of my 3-part series "D&D Monk, But Good," where I give an overview of Monks in Pathfinder 2e, and give general build tips. Part 2 will be a combat demonstration, and Part 3 will look at higher levels and analyze what makes strong/fun/crazysexycool.

D&D has scrapped the One D&D label for its next edition, and is now calling it... Fifth Edition! WOTC is now having a crisis with its player base which I predicted would happen a long time ago once it was clear they might go this route.
Also includes The DM Lair's interview of Stephen Glicker and Mark Seifter of Roll for Combat, revealing why WOTC is making this "not a new edition" edition. (Link to that interview below.)

In our Outlaws of Alkenstar campaign, during a raid in which the gang's fortunes went south, PAPA FANCY & THE BIG BANG BROTHERS took a moment to talk about their experience getting used to Pathfinder 2e and figuring out how to play their characters well in combat. (SwingRipper is a PF2e vet, while the others are new.)
