[QUOTE="Kobold Avenger, post: 6027935, member: 779"] Certainly one of the things I was thinking of with the Monk was the Diablo 3 Monk. It was certainly fun to play, but what's fun to play in a video game does vary from what's fun to play in a TTRPG. I certainly think the 1e to 3e system of Flurry of Blows (also known as Flurry of Misses, or as one of my friends calls it: Frurry of Bros) is never going to be in 5e, too much die rolling and it really slows things down. Maybe Flurry if it exists might be like Combat Superiority, but it definitely won't be extra attacks. I think another thing that factors into what I might want to see in the Monk is something based off of Book of 9 Swords, since that had some interesting schools, even if that book was in many ways the precursor to 4e. As far as dealing with story, I thought they buried the idea of the Sublime Way after Book of 9 Swords, but they brought some of it's fluff back in Heroes of Elemental Chaos. So I don't think there's a lack of story ideas with different types of Monks, since they can just refer to Desert Wind and Diamond Mind. [/QUOTE]
