    One of my favourite things about the Vibe Check is that it can be activated anywhere after you apply it at any later point.
    - You hear of a tyrannical king that his subject worship like a god.
    - sneak into the king's room.
    - apply Vibe Check and get the hell out and make sure you’re unfollowed.
    - the king is wondering wtf just happened but remembers that he has a speech to give.
    - buy some binoculars (or get a totem barbarian friend who has eagle eyes and the observant feat to be able to see the king at a safe distance).
    - at the climax of the speech activate the Vibe Check.
    - king stops talking and ragdolls off the balcony dead.
    - all his subject saw the king who they worshipped as a god die in front of them.
    - grab some popcorn and watch the chaos ensue.

    For the chastity and poverty, that's often more of a western style Monk...which, class wise, is more of a Cleric than a Monk.
    D&D Monks are the more eastern style, which can have some of those vows, but a lot of them don't...and many of the subclasses definitely aren't originating from that such as Kensai (Which is basically the wandering weapons master out to build his skills) which is Samurai Jack or Rurouni Kenshin. Most unarmed combatants seem to fit more of the wandering martial artist or searcher for enlightenment archetype than the direct monastic tradition. Sure, a lot of them were called monks which was basically because a lot of monasteries in those areas doubled as orphanages.

    I love quivering palm because the delayed effect allowed you to do some RP stuff, like giving foe a warning not to do attack you again or they'll die, or when set it up early and wait until BBEG exhausted their legendary saves and almost killed one of your party member, etc.

    With the flurry of blows open hand technique. You can actually apply one of effects to each hit. So land three hits you can trip, push, and say no more reactions. All in a single turn (provide they fail the saves and you land the hits)

    Love your videos, so not really
    critiquing D&D or you since i'm sure this stuff is canon and it's a fantasy universe. For anyone interested in the reality for which monks are based on however there is essentially female monks. Called Bhikkhunī. Some historical female monks, sometimes erroneously referred to as nuns. Fought in combat as well, and trained in martial arts / self defense. Male and female monks however are and were segregated to avoid lust, as like the vow of poverty; lust and sexuality was often looked at negatively as it encourages distraction and greed, preventing you from proper discipline.
    The distinction between Male and female monks is important here because in eastern philosophy for which D&D monks are primarily based. Male and Female monks are essentially equal, something that is very different from the nuns and monks of the Catholic church. Of course in historical reality this varied widely throughout time and by region.
