Folding a class into another much be a primary and early goal of the system during the parent class.For example the monk. Both the fighter and the rogue have be written in ways where you cannot swap out their class features easily or with any sort of balance for iconic monk features. The druid exist as a class because the cleric was never given anything worth wildshape and the expanded spell list witch could be easily swapped. If fighters or rogues had a class feature or two you could swap out for Ki and Martial arts, you wouldn't need a monk. Sadly D&D classes are built very uneven.</blockquote>
