[QUOTE="LoneWolf23, post: 189092, member: 643"] After careful research (mostly playing through Project Aon's Gamebooks ;) ), I've come to the conclusion that the Kai Lord character CAN be balanced with the other classes... ...Mainly because the Kai Lord is essentially a multi-class of Fighter, Ranger and Rogue, with some psi-abilities added. The Magnakai is really just the same as a Kai, only with boosted abilities. And only Kai Grandmasters are really capable of spell-casting. Another thing is that Kai Monks don't start with ALL their abilities, but gain them adventure by adventure. LoneWolf only start with 3 Magnakai Disciplines in his first Lorestone Quest adventure, for exemple. So a starting Kai (or Magnakai) might only have the skills of a warrior, ranger, rogue or mind-force user, and only develop in other disciplines as he goes up in level. High level Kai (like Grandmaster on up) might best be covered with the Epic-Level rules in the Epic-Level Handbook. ...especially since by the time LoneWolf became Supreme Master, he was at a level of power comparable to some D&D Demonlords...
