But WotC has never signaled they're going to try and cater to multiple tastes like that. So I don't expect it any time soon. There is, simply put, more money in delivering the Wuxia-and-all classes, then there is in not going full-tilt. Because I believe the Wuxia-likers outweigh the non, and watering down the Ninja/Monk/Samurai to accommodate the later will likely alienate the former. It's the same reason I believe the monk won't be psionic. Because you have your psionic fans, your oriental adventures fans, and you don't want to alienate them both by putting the Psionutbutter in the chocoMonk.That, and WotC obviously likes putting things in nice little boxes, instead of letting them spread out, archetypely speaking. For instance: if you want to be an Archer, you must be a Ranger. The end. So it stands to reason: If you want to hit things with your fist, you're going to be a Ki Monk. The end. If they were going to make a martial power-source option, they'd have put it in Martial Power, as an alternative build for the Fighter or Rogue or Ranger.I could get behind that.</blockquote>
