And the mystic can't be a monk in 5e's class structure. It's a nonsense idea. youd have to give warrior HD and base class features to the monk. The concept is a "Mystic" that is a dangerous combatant, able to stand next to the skirmishers at least, if not the front liners, and it does so by perfecting and bringing into balance the body and mind. That concept can only ever go halfway as a subclass of a full caster style class, or a full martial style class. Not because it "arbitrarily has niche protection", in a game where a feat let's you fight unarmed and at least one other class can fight unarmored, but because it is a strong concept with a lot of both traction and distinctivenenss.</blockquote>
