[QUOTE="Felon, post: 4788705, member: 8158"] A few observations (some of which have no doubt already been made, but my head would explode if I tried to read every post preceding this one). 1) Like the barbarian and the avenger, I feel that at least a token few ranged attack powers would be nice to have in the mix. I think it's a big mistake to make a class melee-only. It's bad juju to have to multiclass just to get even a little range. 2) The class description mentions Strength being a secondary ability score, but it's not reflected in any of the powers. I guess that's a common trait of the playtest classes, but I would like to see monks get some benefit from being ripped and chiseled. 3) Throwing out the ki power source and making monks psionic? I say, throw out the psionic power sourcer and have psions and psychic warriors use the ki power source. 4) The Design & Development article for the monk bothers me. They acknowledge that weapon users have ways to beef up their damage dice, and thus so should monks. This begs the question as to why they feel implement powers ought to be shortchanged on damage, while all weapon powers deserve some way to pull ahead? [/QUOTE]
