[QUOTE="doctorbadwolf, post: 7159056, member: 6704184"] The mystic martial artist should absolutely be its own concept, not part of the fighter. I think there may be no single thing I dislike more in 5e than actual interesting concepts getting eaten by the egregiously bland fighter. What the monk needs conceptually is for the mystical aesthetic thing to be done [I]better[/I]. I won't accept the notion of just getting rid of the one strong concept in the game that isn't based in European tropes. Rather, we should be finding ways to expand dnd's scope. The monk needs more flavor of the near east, Africa, South America, etc. there are many mystical aesthetics who can perform feats beyond normal human limits, some of which are clearly supernatural, etc, all over the world. Go ahead and give the fighter a martial artist, sure. Or better, because martial artists needn't all be unarmed and unarmored, redesign the whole class with the concept of the martial artist in mind. Doesn't obviate the mystical, supernatural, strongly unarmored and often unarmed concept. [/QUOTE]
