I agree that the flavor could be tweaked. Monks don't have to be ascetic monastic martial artists; they can be government/organization operatives, acrobats, body guards, assassins, professional mageslayers, etc. A simple straight up unarmed combatant with different talent trees so you could create the mystical quasi-magical ascetic, but it's not the default, would be best. I never liked Bards being music focused. Yes, it can function "like" a rousing speech or poetry, but it's called Bardic Music. I hate every time I bring a Bard to the table, people assume I'm playing Sir Robin's minstrels. Thus I'm ecstatic about the Warlord. I never liked Druids not being able to use any metal whatsoever - unless it's a scimitar or a sickle. And why can't they use bows? A bow can be made from a fallen tree branch and a deer's thews. I despise the flavor for gnomes.</blockquote>
