[QUOTE="Leatherhead, post: 8070150, member: 53176"] Honestly the 4 elements monk kind of fails at what it was attempting to accomplish: Be one of the Benders from Avatar (the TV show, not the movie, it's on netflix now) The first step on getting it back on track would be to gut it. Spending Ki points to cast spells might be salvageable, but subclasses want to do the cool thing that they signed up for all the time. Like how the Shadow Monk can just Teleport all day long. To facilitate that, work in an ability where their unarmed strikes passively do elemental damage, preferably without costing ki (and lets face it, it wouldn't be overpowered on a monk who already has magic headbutts at level 6, they just get to have that kind of thing a little earlier than the other monks for style.) Don't get me wrong, I love cantrips, and especially the EE cantrips that just let you mess around with elements. But that's not a core class power, that's a ribbon. [/QUOTE]
