[QUOTE="Gadget, post: 8958854, member: 23716"] While I'm not for turning monks into a front line bruiser (That is what the fighter, barbarian, paladin &, to a lesser extent, Ranger are for). But it seems that is what WOTC is attempting to do so by putting them in the warrior group. Traditionally, they have been slotted in the expert/rouge group, but I guess they have never really hit it there, so maybe putting them in the warrior group is a good thing. I would like to center them less around Stunning Strike, which is too much of an all or nothing ability, and focus them more on other mystical abilities, rather than make them into just a fancy pugilist as I've seen some suggest over the years. They struggle with many of the their abilities ki cost at low levels, which makes them not as fun to play. I've toyed with the idea of allowing certain abilities to function as long as they have ki remaining (or x ki for higher level abilities?). This makes it more a tough choice for expending ki on "big gun" ability while also hopefully makes it less necessary to fire off those "big guns" to remain viable and flavorful. [/QUOTE]
