Way of the four elements: “who are you?” Dragon monk: “I’m you, but better.”

I absolutely love the idea of a bunch of old wise monks sitting around a table trying to figure out what "KILL THEM ALL! END THEIR BLOODLINES!" actually mean.

With the new one Dnd/play test monk, the dragon monk is going to absolutely slap, doesn’t matter who. Anyone can get the hands. And the feet.

As an ascendant dragon monk myself, this made my day. Keep up the great content!

As anime nerd I appreciate the fact that the moment I realized this was a Dragon Slayer from Fairy Tail a clip from Fairy Tail played. Tried a homebrew dragon slayer years ago that wasn't this fun or good great video :)

That Dragon Tales theme got me nostalgic for a good while 😅

As soon as dragon tales started playing I hit that sub button.

Finally, i can be a Dragon Slayer from Fairy Tail, and also melt peoples face off using my own hands instead of mouth!

I multiclassed my dragon monk with peace cleric. With step of the wind dash and the balm of peace channel divinity, he could do an entire lap around the battlefield weaving in and out of bad guys and deliver a hell of a lot of healing before reappearing back in front of his initial target. Fun times.

This monk, astral self, and cobalt soul are the monks I enjoy the most

Just gotta say fam you're very quickly becoming my favorite dnd content maker. Always looking forward to your vids, keep being goofy and cool

Love these videos you post as always. Can’t wait for the illusionist wizard and the archfey warlock in the future. Those videos (after I enjoy watching them) would go straight to my players since they are new to the game and two of them are playing these subclasses. As always thanks to you for making these videos informative, enjoyable, and cool af to watch. Can’t wait to watch the rest 👍

Can't wait to try it! Great video :D

Amazing content, as always!

Another amazing video! I have been here since your Bladesinger video and you never disappoint!

This is the second video in two days that has reminded me Dragon Tales was a thing. Also, it's worth noting that you can beat up werewolves, ghosts, and werewolf ghosts starting right at 3rd level, since you can choose what damage type your fists do.

Another quality upload, I’m going to use this in my next campaign

Awesome! I'm checking for a new character idea for a one shot this tuesday. I was wanting to try the monk for like 2 month already, and i wanted to try a dragonborn race for a while but i didn't know about Ascendant Dragon monks. So i guess i found my character right here! thanks!

Don't mind me, I'm just lurking in the shadows, helping the algorithm & patiently waiting for the Necromancer video.

I love your vids thanks for being such a cool content creator

Love the content bro

Finally all caught up 🎉 New subscriber. Found you from a short, came to see the Bard video stayed to see them all 😂 love your videos Would love to see my OG subclass the Necromancer shown some attention if you could work it in somewhere

Another banger keep it up can’t wait to get to zealot barbarian that’s going to be a fun video

I’m playing an Ascendant Dragon Monk right now and it’s really fun!

I can't wait to see what you come up with for Shadow Monk. And Way of the Open Palm.

Haha, man love your videos.

Banger as always YMBA

Funnily enough, mutlticlassing this with Beast Barbarian gets you some FUN Str-onk options~ Got a Kappa (Reflavored Locathah) Ascendant Monk / Beast Barb, and with her rage she basically gets full on dragon features with every fight! And Reckless Flurry of Blows? *chef kiss*

Dragontales fr hits thanks for taking me back bro

Sweet draconic video!

YEEEEEES! YMBA posted!

I've been interested in playing a Dragon Monk/ Drakewarden Ranger. I think the backstory writes itself.

Yas! Moar dragon content! Seriously, Fizbans did some great things to this game.

Came for the subclass breakdown, stayed for the puns 😂

When the UA dropped I almost cried for joy. When the official WoAD dropped I almost cried in despair. With the new playtest the joy is REAL

Scary combo with this and Pheonix sorcerer

MIght check this out, b4 that i played a tabaxi monk with jumps spell to jump like crazy around battle feild

Literally going to build Zangeif with this subclass the spinning piledriver is going to be peak

Wow Never heard of this Time to add

I am currently trying to homebrew a monk subclass called Body of the First Stone, it is a STR and CON based class, designed almost specifically for Dragonborn to use.

17 lvls in Ascendant Dragon Monk, 2 lvls in Fighter for Action Surge, and 1 lvl in Draconic Sorcerer for Draconic Resilience "+ 13 to AC when not wearing armor".

I played this and it gets extra fun if your dm allows you to take advantage of having access to different damage types. Like using cold damage to weaken a lock or a chain so you can break it. Fire hands to start fires and lighting damage to over charge magic crystals. Poison damage to make poison for other to use. Even using thunder to single people as it can be any sound.

0:47 It's almost like the game is called wyverns & wizards

have you considered talking about Eberron's Living weapon monk? is pretty versatile and probably one of the classes with the most amount of damage.

So, I plan on using this subclass for my next character. More specifically, im going to try for 17 level dragon monk and 3 level giant barbarian, hadozee to try and make my own, dnd-ified take on Sun Wukong

Me and my friends started a new campaing, and my character is a minotaur dragon monk Its pretty funy to have the visual image of a minotaur motor boating the enemy to extintion with fiery horns XD

The coolest part of this subclass that i found, is when you are already a dragonborn from the fizban's list of dragonborns, you can do 2 breath attacks on 1 action, and then with the fighter dip do 2 more breath attacks on the action surge, which is just awesome as that is 16d10 damage

This subclass is actually a better pick to flavor as the avatar than the way of the elements monk

Fun dragon nostalgia.

there should be more dungeon-themed classes in that game

For my first D&D character I'm going with Harengon Monk, and Im either going with this subclass, Sun Soul, or Mercy. I'll probably wait until I see the classes the rest of my party are looking to do, so I can fill in the gaps the right way.

Yeah I do like the dragon monk, only thing i would really change is Wings Unfurled lasting until the start of your next turn. but hey get way more use out of Slow Fall then any other monk ;)

“So, you’re playing a Monk with the Ascendent Dragon subclass…. What’s his name?” Me: Natsu Dragneel

I really want to play a tabaxi ascendant dragon one of these days. having like 400ft of flying movement in a round would be bonkers.

Ok .. i might have to make a Dragon born/ Ascendent Dragon monk ..muti class . My next character

Magical Karate Man is my favorite class. I don't care how lackluster 5e made them. I've made some off the wall weird and cool characters that are monks. My current one is a halfling luchador that does tons of high flying attacks and manuevers enemies & allies around for the show stopping specials. Monks have the best flavor and are the most fun for me.

0:50 + several feats and 2 races that has multiple versions and one has subraces. And also a few other monsters.

This is the only subclass that makes me even want to try a monk

I like the idea of just a big scary feral dragonborn that attacks with its claws and mouth and breathes fire. Doesn't need armor, it has scales. When it gets high enough level it grows actual wings instead of spectral wings. 🔥

Yknow, mentioning the Naruto stuff, they oddly work for some builds. Breath attacks? Elemental Jutsu. Stunning Strike? Taijutsu moves. Wings unfurled? The amount of air game any given ninja in that show can get from "Jumping" is insane. Elemental strikes? Less powerful Chidori or elemental themed fighting style. Using a weapon? ALSO Chidori or channeling ki into your weapon. Line based lightning attack after stunning the foe? Actual Chidori or Rasengan. Wyrm Aura? Genjutsu or just extending your protection onto others. Admittedly it breaks down a bit with the Diamond Soul and such. But hey, Dip out at some point to get Mirror Image or Echo Knight for some Shadow Clones. Alternatively, you can see it as a different monster or animal themed one. So like, Insects.

Do you think you could do Beast Barbarian next?

I've got an Ascendant Dragon (Monk) Kobold. From "Kobold Legacy" he knows Shocking Grasp which I treat like him hitting a pressure point.

Waiting for the way of mercy monk

I fully expected a song by Dragon Sound, the fictional Tai Kwon Do band in “Miami Connection”.

8:32 is the cutiest picture ever

Hope they’ll do dream Druid soon

could you do a vid on star druid

Can you please review way of the long death?

What do u think about the new monk subclass. Way of the arcane hand.

The first class i played was a monk called See-Ya later

The number of subclasses that get a better breath weapon than dragonborns is hilarious 😂

ANY 3RD party content with underwater or under the sea campaigns?

I recently played an ascendant dragon monk in a campaign. My personal take on it is, excellent flavor, and a good monk subclass, but outpaced at equal levels by other martials. Despite my lack of mechanical power however, I was successful in my ultimate goal of making the GM want to rip his hair out every session. 10/10, would use wings unfurled to dunk in basketball again

I multi class into beast barb so i can get a dragon tail and beat people from further out. Plus resistance is resistance!

One of my fav monks

Dragon music? My brother in Christ, did you ever hear Receive You? This is a theme of an actual dragon. The Dragon of Dojima

Can you do Eloquence Bard?

Battle rap vs @pointyhat when?

Got nothing to say, but commenting to help the God of Algorithms!

Hey let's not forget that Open Hand monks can eventually just one-shot enemies if they fail the save

Yuh boiiii

Oathbreaker Paladin pls

It does have a issue i found where it got nerfed down from ua and yes ua are always stronger but some o the changes straight up suck that i allow players to use the ua the ki point cost my major issue they added to cost more which was unnecessary

So an as ascendent dragon dragonborn with dragon bloodline is a possibility?

Question is the explosion fury also 1. minutes you explode for 10 turns

what book is the healing in

Quick! someone get me a campaign with a Drake Warden, Ascendant Dragon, draconic bloodline, and... purple dragon knight (really no dragon based fighter subclasses?)

I love how he avoided saying “fvck with a dragon” because the entire comment section would overflow with bard jokes.

Wait ppl think monks are bad? They are absolutely op they get so much AC, extra movement, and so much utility like being able to walk on water, catch projectiles, get a billion extra movement plus bonus action dash, and at least 1 extra melee bonus action a round. It so good with multiclassing too give any wizard a good ac, and an up close attack for that just in case. I have a monk druid combo that I love spore druid plus monk. I like to go kensai, but open hand works well too. With this by level 8 with 0 magic items. I use wood eld for proficiency with scimitar, and I take the gladiator background so I can start with one just because I like them, and that extra 5 mobility is nice too. With an 18 in wisdom, and a 16 in dex I get 18 AC, plus 2 every turn for holding a scimitar in my left hand because it's my kensai weapon as long as I make an unarmed attack during my turn, so that's 20 ac. I also use Symbiotic entity to get 12 temp hp, and whole that temp hp exist my attacks deals and extra 1d6 damage PER ATTACK and you can just you your reaction against anyone in 10 feet of you if they make any attack at all. Speaking I'd attack I use flame blade lvl 2 spell as my primary weapon. Kensai weapon only needs to be in hand to get the bonus not used, so as a lvl 5 monk that's 2 attacks with flame blade but remember your Symbiotic entity is still up, so that's 4d6 dmg per attack, oh yeah and flurry of blows so 2 more attacks 1d4+1d6, and don't for get your 1d4 as a reactions. So at lvl 8 you have 20AC, 45ft of movement, 12d6+1d4+8 damage every turn, plus stuff like slowfall and stunning strike too. Monks are op.

Fizban's gave dragonborn a MASSIVE buff, not the least of which to their breath attacks, which now deals 1d10 damage for a single attack action the save is 8+your con mod+proficiency (perfect for melee martials who tend to have a high con mod anyway. especially barbarians) for 1/2 damage. and it scales up by another 1d10 at the same levels as cantrips (5, 11 and 17) other than that, not much has changed for the breath attack. though the dragonborn themselves also get a new ability based on what kind of dragonborn they are. I should probably stop talking because you should know all this

6:08 But what if someone swan dives?

I always ask my DM if I can play the UA variant of this subclass because if there's one thing WotC has gotten good at over the years, it's screwing Monks over in their balanced releases

I need help. I just heard Baldur's Gape 😅

I always thought that you can do a furry of blows after each attack ahen reaching 5th level as apart of the same attack action I'm I wrong you cant do that

This is just dragon slayer magic from fairy tale

I mean, monks aren't good in 5e, but I'm still gonna play them because I like the fantasy. Not everything is about optimization. Sometimes you just wanna feel cool.

say you should really do a video about pun-pun.

You step of the wing to fly up to the bad guy and then breath weapon attack and then use all your other attacks to stunning strike. And don’t forget you Slow fall at the end of the turn. (And yea this attack plan does assume you grabbed fighter 2 along the way)

I don't think I am.

"one of the best monk subclasses" then why is it always ranked the lowest together with sun soul and four elements whenever i look up any ranking lists?
