[QUOTE="Arkhandus, post: 2107739, member: 13966"] Disclaimer: rampant sarcasm follows Sorry, I didn't feel like reading much of the posts in this thread beyond the first one, for some reason I was feeling lazy in that regard. }:^( Perhaps if I could have somehow managed to overcome my insomnia this past week enough to get more than 3-4 hours of sleep each night, I might not have felt so dis-inclined to reading a long page of posts. Then I wouldn't have accidentally mimicked stuff already mentioned, and wouldn't be badmouthed for incidentally restating what's already said, because lord only knows [I]nobody[/I] ever happens to, on rare occasions, post to a thread without reading all the posts beyond the first, least of all someone so meticulous in habit as myself. Because, y'know sleep is for the weak. People who get hung up on D&D Monks being too orientally-exclusive are akin to those who get hung up on how D&D psionics are so "totally and undeniably" sci-fi (or since the XPH, "crystal-punk") for any good roleplayer to ever be comfortable having them in a nice, traditional D&D campaign. You'd think they'd rant about the punkish and newb-ish atmosphere much of 3.x D&D portrays, or the liberal modern ethics and pop culture that some D&D designers nowadays seem to try slipping into the products without portraying more traditional medieval-style pseudo-historical stuff. But [I]nooooooo[/I], monks and psions and anything smacking of non-traditional-western-European-flavor/legend are the bugbears that assail their minds. I prefer to think positively when allowed the opportunity, and work up a solution that fits the game. Open your minds to more possibilities and you won't be stressed so much by life's little idiosyncracies and such. Stress is bad for your health, y'know. [/QUOTE]
