[QUOTE="tetrasodium, post: 9606732, member: 93670"] That's flawed logic because"are monk ki strikes nonmagical or supernaturally created magical effects" & similar questions are mechanical. You don't get to"the setting" until questions about how they are portrayed in setting... that question of portrayal can also extend to anything that interacts with it mechanically. While d&d uses the mechanical representation of dispel magic antinagic & similar, Wuxia/cultivation fiction often portrays it as a suppression tends to use terms like areas of low ki and suppression from the aura/soul/presence/domain (or whatever) of someone in a bigger realm of cultivation... The end result is the same mechanically despite a different portrayal. Im fact it's so common in said fiction that it's practically a standard trope and tends to be far more devastating than d&d's antinagic in said fiction. Monk can't continue having it both ways choosing to be totally under limited partial d&d mechanical RAW logic when convenient only to jump over to extremely cherry picked wuxia/cultivation fiction. Monk carries over basically none of the big standard expected drawback tropes faced by cultivators & practitioners in Wuxia/cultivation fiction and has no reason it should be allowed to use Wuxia/cultivation fiction tropes for strength that shields it when d&d mechanics present drawbacks...
