[QUOTE="Kobold Avenger, post: 4180407, member: 779"] Try 1e, that's where the Monk first appeared. Samurai gets the least amount of things making it different from any other class, and therefore doesn't deserve to have it's own class. Sohei was basically a Paladin/Monk/Barbarian. Shaman will probably appear again as a "Primal" power source class rather than an "Asian" power source. The 4e shaman will probably take some things both from the OA Shaman and the Spirit Shaman, that are so similarly named. Shugenja, had really nothing differentiating it from any other spellcasting class, expect it to get it's stuff taken by the Sorcerer and Divine Controller or the suggested "Elementalist" class. Wu Jen or (Wu Ren if we're using modern Chinese romanization) was basically a wizard with a bit of elemental/druid thrown into the mix. Expect them to be somewhere in one of the "Primal" classes, getting their stuff taken from them. Monk, does have enough things to make it an unique class on its own. But it should be grouped with other power sources. In some ways they're more mind over matter, so they could be Psionic, in other ways they're a lot about skill so they could be Martial, they're also related to a religious background so they could be Divine. Ninja, does have a few unique things, and they're best grouped with the "Shadow" power source, combined with the Assassin and Shadowdancer. [/QUOTE]
