Message: <blockquote data-quote="bganon" data-source="post: 5584524" data-attributes="member: 60886">No Ki Fist, but with your at-will every monk's going to be using a Mountainfall Ki Focus anyway, so they can get a +2/+4/+6 damage vs prone/immob on every attack.My point is this: monks have Ki Foci to replace the loss of weapon properties/powers.  It may not be a totally even trade because of all the magic weapons in print, but it's not meant to be an imbalance, and trying to fix it by giving the unarmed style some freebies will probably have unintended consequences.I don't want to be relentlessly negative; I like the basic idea of what you're trying to do, and it'd be cool to see an article come out of it.  I think a number of things are quite OP, but those sorts of things can be easier to tweak (the at-will is quite fixable, I think).  I think the main problem is what others have pointed out: the theme as written is totally useless for non-Monks, and I doubt WotC will be interested in one-class themes.If the starting feature were rewritten as a new standalone power (usable as a MBA), that might go a long way toward making the theme available to anyone who wants to occasionally punch monsters in the face.Also, you really should check WotC's submission guidelines before posting more details here.  It's admirable that you want to playtest ideas, but they may not want to print something you can't prove you own, and when you post ideas on a public forum it makes it pretty easy for others to claim things as their own.</blockquote>
