[DnD] I am in a party of adventures and this guy is using his fists. How will he honestly fair against plate armor?

Gi the Monk says he can easily fight a man in plate with his bare hands. I don't care what divinely ordained temple you're from that should shatter your fists, right?

Feasibly before any Hocus pocus what can someone trained in martial arts do against someone in plate armor? Could it make a feasible difference?

I don't want this armorless weaponless git to die in a dungeon.

This isn't just someone "trained in martial arts", this is a *monk.* They're channelling ki to perform semi-mystical effects, including such things as turning invisible and speaking all languages and, yes, punching through metal.

Sure, a guy just using his fists can't punch through plate armour, just like a guy who's just smart can't summon fireballs. But a wizard is more then a smart guy with a book, and a monk is more then just a martial artist.

He'll be fine.
