2Wiz2Lockest: Smoking Leaves

This is a response to Sil's article  responding to Haen's article detailing a proposed optimal party of four (within Haen's tech limit, which hovers around mid tech). I'm of the opinion that Sil's party, while an overall improvement to Haen's, I've spotted the addition of a LifeDruidLock in exchange for the HexClock that will free up half our party member's races up through role compression. Peace1/Chronurge X Mark of Handling human > Peace 1/Chron X Winged Tiefling We're changing this to Winged Tiefling for WT's incredible defensive profile. Otherwise, no notes.

Lastly, Stunning Strike + the new Net is a funny and remarkably decent combination for control. I rate this build low-mid for all of T1 and then mid-high for T2 and onwards (I mean TTB mid-high, which is a low standard). This is not an impressive build, but this is the best I could squeeze out of Monk. This build falls apart if your DM doesn’t allow Ta...
