I've always liked the idea of 'specializing' core classes or changing their overall flavor. A number of these ideas above are fantastic but I feel like putting in my 2 cents. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> The only problem I see with some of this stuff is pretty basic and was mentioned before - Why would I choose this over a normal monk? You should try and replace each ability wiht something comparable (Not equivelint but comparable.) Why can't you change some of the things that make monks weak or stronger to get the flavor you're looking for?Diamond Body - To me this is something that you would keep just for the flavor. Poison resistance to a earth based creature is just a given IMO. On top of that Diamonds come from the earth - there is no need to even change this abilities context!Fast movement - This should probably go, or be toned down a bit. I don't picture any Earth creatures moving to hastily at all. Keep in mind that they're dwarven breathren could have simply been slowed by their equipment. The monks, having no need for such equipment, are just faster as it is. Perhaps you could replace this with...- an increased AC bonus. (I'm thinking Natural instead of Dodge in this case)- an increased BAB - Why can't they be more effective in combat then your traditional monk?Perhaps you can replace the Evasion with some sort of DR.I like the idea of burrowing. Perhaps this could be a supernatural ability to replace the abundant step ability?In any case I'm not terribly familiar with the elemental perspective you are talking about. I'm just used to having the ability to switch even some of the character mechanics and still come out with a similar class.</blockquote>
