My second reason would be that I resent how much this is relying on D&D Beyond. Monk gettign screwed is a minor nitpick.but anyway:Monk got better scaling of their damage die...but no access to weapon mastery, effectively midigating any improvements, ensuring they still are at the bottom.Unarmored Defense is still a class feature that is worse than wearing nonmagical armor up until level 20, while Monk still doesn't have big hit die or defenses to be in meele with Fighter, Ranger, paladin or BarbarianMonk still doesn't have enough ki points to keep up and isntead of permamently increase them, they just filled levels where they didn't have ideas with features to midigate it.They nerfed Stunning Strike and removed the utility previous UAs added to it as a trade-off for the nerf.At 18 level you get ability to pay for a thing thing Barbarian gets for free whenever they rage at level 3.And on top of that, College of Dance bard casually can do Monk's main thing, on top of having access to spells. And then also gets one of Monk's best features a whole level earlier and also gets a STRONGER version of it. There is literally nothing Monk can do that won't be overshadowed by Bard. Any time anyone will want to play a Monk, this subclass will need to be banned outright unless you want Bard to bully Monk players.</blockquote>
