If you were asking simply for flavor, to better understand what is happening at the table, I’d posit that the Druidic magic bridges the gaps in understanding as it creates the animal body for you, including physiology that can process your normal thoughts, and all the synaptic pathways that make up trained implicit memory (muscle memory). Or, a different character might be described as having trained in various animals forms as well as humanoid form. This Monk/Druid might represent a tradition that the character has trained in for years, but that the game understandably didn’t build a whole class for. (MC doesn’t have to represent combining disparate traditions in game. It can simply represent a tradition that has no direct mechanical rep already in the game)Or, a Monk/Druid might represent a character whose monk abilities are as much instinct as training, like a force user in Star Wars.edit: also, dogs can punch pretty hard. And halflings and Goliaths punch the same amount.</blockquote>
