Highlights

  • The Way of the Four Elements subclass for monks falls short by putting spellcasting as the main focus, which doesn't complement the monk's core abilities.
  • The Way of the Open Hand subclass enhances the Monk roleplaying aspect and allows for powerful abilities like adding modifiers to attacks and accessing passive toggle-able abilities.
  • The Way of Shadow subclass is the most fun and transforms the monk into a stealthy assassin, with abilities like hiding as a bonus action, invisibility, and teleportation.
