Message: <blockquote data-quote="doctorbadwolf" data-source="post: 9839515" data-attributes="member: 6704184">The Mystic Monk is bad at level 3, tbh. Like, only if you desparately need to mix sorcerer with your monk would I ever recommend this. At least the base class can do it's bonus action stuff regardless of what action you take, so it isn't terrible like it would be under 2014 rules, but only getting spellcasting on a martial class without even a minor quality of life ribbon feature is just lame. It's a subclass that until level 6, just....has nothing at all to do with the base class on any level. I feel like something in between the ribbon of War Bond and the really cool features of the Arcane Trickster is needed here. HOWEVER, in spite of being pretty "basic" in vibe, the level 6+ features make for a very cool character build, and I've been wanting an arcane monk subclass since day one, so I'm glad that they are at least trying it out. Personally, I would rather see them be able to use focus points to cast spells and get some unique abilities alongside that to make the subclass feel distinct and feel distinctly Monk. Spellguard Paladin rules. Vestige Warlock.....I mean it's a 5e pet subclass, so it sucks in all the same ways that every other 5e pet subclass does. Looking past that, it's pretty neat. I'd rather have a warlock pet subclass focus on binding stuff, rather than whatever this is with the domain spells and all that. The warlock with a pet should be an expert who bound a powerful creature and draws power from it, and thus their magic reflects that by binding others with spells like command, hold person, banishment, etc. or they should be a Summoner, with spells that summon or spells that can be cast on the summon to strengthen it. angel summoner undead edition is just...not what I have ever seen anyone ask for in a warlock subclass.</blockquote>
