[QUOTE="Clint_L, post: 9692634, member: 7035894"] The only one I've looked at so far is tattooed warrior (monk). It is not well designed. The level 3 choices are pretty underwhelming (a cantrip for free and access to a minor ability for a focus point). The level 6 options are all a waste of focus points to let you do stuff that monks don't particularly need. The level 11 options are [I]terrible[/I] and eventually trumped by baseline monk abilities. You can spend three focus points to get resistance to your chosen damage type and rerolls on the relevant save. But at level 14 monks already get on demand rerolls on [I]all[/I] saving throws, and at level 18 they already get resistance to all damage types except force. So this subclass level eventually may as well not exist. The level 17 options are just very situational, and much like the level 6 options, mostly address areas where the monk does not need help. Love the concept of the tattooed warrior, but this is terrible execution. [/QUOTE]
