[QUOTE="chronoplasm, post: 4985341, member: 73795"] So in PHB3, we will have the Monk, a [I]psionic[/I] class that focuses on punching people with your [I]fists[/I]. Do you think there's any possibility we might see another class that focuses on unnarmed attacks but in another power source? I could see something Monk-like in the Divine power source. Imagine a Herculean or Samson-esque type character with a body blessed and sculpted by the gods themselves. Samson was the dude from the old testament who killed an entire army with only the jawbone of a donkey. David was the kid who took his armor off and killed the giant Goliath with only a slingshot. Picture that with Channel Divinity powers and Prayer attacks. Maybe throw some Lucha Libre elements in, inspired by the great El Santo. That guy fought [I]vampires[/I]. I could also see some possibilities for primal-class build options. Like a Barbarian who is all about scratching and biting people. Also, I still really want to see some sort of [I]Brawler[/I] class for the martial power source... something that focuses on fist fighting without the meditation or eastern flavor of the monk. I tried to create such a class as a martial controller a while ago with help from a friend of mine, but I'm not happy with the end result. [/QUOTE]
