Yes.Not sure I understand this logic.
'We can't do it all in one class with subclasses"
It depends on what the antecedent to your "it" there is. If it's the same as the "it all" in the previous sentence, then no, of course not. I'm not calling for deleting the monk class.Therefore
'We should try to do it in one subclass of the class that is already trying to hold every non-wuxia generic warrior archetype' ?
You have the monk with various subclasses, and then you have a fighter subclass to relieve the pressure for a "Strength monk" or whatnot. In part for what the subclass can do on its own, in part because as an example it'll finally get people to stop narrowly focusing on the monk class as if it were the only possible vessel for wuxia fighters.
