Alightment Restrcitions
Multiclassing Resrictions
Those are my big ones and have already been covered
My 2cp on the Monk; I don't see anything wrong with having someone that has trained themselves to fight unarmed and is devoted to physical and mental perfection. I see no reason they have to be from a far off land and have a shaved head though.
What I would want to see is the mental perfection aspect seporated from the unarmed portion (say... different talent trees - assuming we are getting those) so you can have the half-orc who speciallizes in smashing his opponents faces into the pavement using his bare hands without forcing the PC to contemplating his inner soul after dinner. I think this seporation of abilities will help alot.
There are many styles of martial arts and many stories that can be told with someone who prefers to use their fists instead of a sword. For each class WotC might be able to give a half-dozen examples. The Asian Monk is a perfectly valid example of a Martial Artist type character, just not the only one.
