I think when you generalize it, it would lose a lot. Part of the issue though I think is monk is emulating a whole different genre than the standard D&D fighter. But I say keep the monk a monk. I like the variety and tone they add to play. To me it isn't an issue if they are associated with temples. I think bringing in other genre adjacent or other wuxia and kung fu classes could work (I think for core classes you probably want just one or two representing that genre though, otherwise it would really change the feel of the game)Also I think the abilities of the monk, don't feel like a generic fighter, so naming them fighter would be kind of off (there is just too much esoteric stuff going on with that class)</blockquote>
