digital insider: Monk in PH3, playtest in May

[The_Fan]

I guess this confirms Ki for PHB3. Shadow has certainly gotten enough previews via Paragon Paths and EDs for it be a likely contender. And Psionics...well, psionics has enough fans that if it isn't in by PHB3, there will be blood. Oh well, elemental can wait 'till PHB4.

Seeing as I can't imagine Ki being an important power source for it, I'm taking this news to discredit the idea that 2010 might see a reemergence of the Dark Sun setting.

Yes, because primal is so uber critical for eberron.

as long as Psionics is not said to be waiting for PH4, DS is still as likely as it was before.

I am excited that the monk is coming out a year before it comes out.

Boot to the head.

Ki and Psionics for PHB 3 then, since there's no way they're delaying Psionics further than that. Curious to see if there's a 3rd power source for it, of which Shadow would be my bet.

They HAVE to put psionics in PHB3. And Necro, Illusionists and Monks. Psi, Ki, Shadow.

Primal is very important for Eberron and its many druidic orders. The most powerful npc is a druid! And so is psi. Please! Monk is great, but we want psi in 2010!

WotC is really on the ball here, as far as scheduling. As soon as PHb2 is out, wtih brand new classes, they're all ready getting us whipped up for PHB3. The rules are at least developed to the point they can present a polished playtest article.

If anything, it shows they're looking ahead.

I feel that my DDI subscription pays for itself three times over.

Aside from the name of the Oriental Adventures which slips my mind, I can't think of any setting where Ki is rather integral. So I don't think that the Monk is really casting doubt.

I'm overloaded on anticipation. It's great to hear about assassins & monks, but I want that damn PHB2!

I've been extremely impressed lately with the quality and quantity of content.

Bravo Wizards.
