Edit: I know this is off topic for the current topic of the thread, but it still applies to the thread as a whole:
I'm reluctantly with the group that says monks shouldn't be in the PHB1. If the focus is really going to be some value of medieval European fantasy, I'd rather see rules that hone in on that in place of a class that may not fit the broader implied setting. Of course, there is a strong "stranger from the east" archetype in fantasy, but maybe we don't need him in the core book.
However, I'd like to say that my ideal D&D would encompass all cultures equally, not just Europe. Wouldn't it be awesome if each subsequent PHB/DMG focused on a different set of cultures? PHB2 might be Asia, PHB3 could be Africa, India, or the Americas etc.
That would be amazing.
