The Monk Tank - D&D: Optimized # 58

This week's D&D 5e character build is all about trying to take one of the most maligned yet most fun classes in D&D and make them into a character who can effectively protect their allies by drawing enemy fire... and actually survive for a long time while doing so :). Wish me luck!
