A couple months ago I got together most of my old gaming group from middle and high school to play 5E. Some of them haven't played D&D in 20 years. We're now 7 sessions into a campaign and the group will probably hit 4th level next session. One player has a wood elf Way of Four Elements monk. We're using the revised version from reddit. He loves having 45 feet of movement and the ability to shoot fire from his fists. He's not the most powerful character, but due to the versatility of the class, he thinks he is. He's even taken a vow of poverty (excepting magic items) because he feels the class is so self-sustaining.
