[QUOTE="Minigiant, post: 8215718, member: 63508"] The point is the whole class is built around Flurry of Blows. So since every monk Yes it is. You are stately that creating a whole new archetypefrom another one without thinking about the differences between the starting pint and end point is simple. Turning the D&D monk into a professional wrestler isn't simple if you care about the tropes of a wrestler. That's the point. Now that's laugablle. The Boxer Archetype doesn't wear armor nor use weapons but the fighter is designed to us both and can maybe be bad to decent not using one of them. The Sun soul uses up all it's mechanical power to make ki blasts work and thus ignores the other aspects of the anime/manga martial artist. And saying a wrestler is a open hand monk or a kensai is just forcing oneself to use the options availale and not caring that they mechanics don't match the archetype. You can't make the Undertaker or Hulk Hogan with the monk. It's easier and makes more sense to say "I'm sorry but you can't be Bret "the Hitman" Hart and make the adult red dragon tap out to the Sharpshooter" than say "You can be the Himan. Just be a monk."
