BLUE = already present, RED = not there (or not there yet...).It looks like the monk is already fairly what most people (here at least) seem to be looking for. The biggest issues and easiest fixes so far seem to be increase martial arts damage and give a bit more ki points since ki competes too much for everything monks do that is "cool".Monk weapons usable with martial arts (66.7%)Stances (43.3%)Martial Maneuvers (43.3%)I think these three aren't present because in many ways they might be too fiddly for 5E's design. However, I think adding maneuvers a la Battle Master would allow much of those three options.BASE CLASS = DECISIVELY POPULAR (63%+)Unarmored defense (86.7%)Martial arts / martial artist (83.3% / 80.0%)Improved speed (83.3%)Improved mobility, jump, run up walls over water, etc. (76.7%)Ki, non-magic (76.7%)Ki, supernatural magic (73.3%)Skirmisher (66.7%)Monk weapons usable with martial arts (66.7%)SUBCLASS ARCHETYPES = POPULAR (40%+)Disabler, imposing conditions (60%)Improved Saves (53.3%)Stances (43.3%)Martial Maneuvers (43.3%)DPS, high damage dealing (40.0%)Resistances and immunities (40.0%)Spiritual Monk / Priest (40.0%)NON-DEFAULT OPTIONS = PROMINENT MINORITY (25%+)Stealth (36.7%)Brawler / Boxer (33.3%)Armor (26.7%)NOTE POLL OPTIONS WITH LESS SUPPORT (LESS THAN 25%)Tank / defense (23.3%)Non-Monk martial weapons (16.7%)Straight-up magic (16.7%)Other, please comment / something else (10%) (6.7%)</blockquote>
