On monks

It has been a few years so my memory is fuzzy, but I remember an encounter my last group had that was supposed to be a "scripted" wipe. The DM used a lot of mind control based stuff intended to non-lethally down the party within a round or two.

As the monk I wasn't immune to it, but had the best save score in the party, and was the only one that resisted the whole turn. I don't recall the enemy makeup, but the bulk of them were pretty much defenseless in melee.

Was able to rush in and squish enough of them before they focused fire. With the reduced numbers they couldn't lock down the rest of the party and it snowballed from there.

It felt pretty awesome but the DM later told me he was going to use the wipe to convert us into an undead party that would regain control and rebel, so I'm kinda bummed we missed out on that.
