[QUOTE="GobHag, post: 9545841, member: 7043860"] I think this is the thing that makes Monk work for me and not for you. DnD is a kitchen sink setting to me, as in, if you play DnD(and it's ilk) you should accept that a lot of anachronism and... analocalism? will([I]and should[/I] IMO) happen. Ninjas [I]should [/I]be hireable by evil kings in their medieval castles, there should be Knights and wandering bards that duel using scimitars against Jaguar Warriors[I], [/I]steampunk Inventors peddling their wares to hags and witches. If someone makes their character look like a Roman Legionnaire that acts like a stereotypical medieval knight in my campaign about fighting an ancient Mummy king rising to conquer Not-Arab I would not care one bit. Of course I'm fine that the Monk is an orientalist exoticism The Class. The only reason most people here accept that knights and purple worms and[I] [/I]swashbuckling musketeers and cubic slimes and witch-burning salem-esque inquisitors fine is simple precedent of what works they took to heart as what 'fantasy' is in their early years. My idea of fantasy is Final Fantasy and Dragonfable(an old browser online RPG)[I], so of course[/I] someone training in the mountains to the point that they can shoot laser beams(not as a spell) would fit medieval fantasy.
