Message: <blockquote data-quote="The Myopic Sniper" data-source="post: 7693460" data-attributes="member: 55013">It definitely looks they are moving in the right direction. Although I still think the class is still way more finicky and persnickety than it needs to be.... although this may just a way to test features and ideas and the end product will be a lot sleeker. I am really not fond of the 2nd level Mystical Recovery power from a design perspective though. I may be misreading it, but it looks like every time that they want to release a new subclass for the Mystic or even homebrew one that you then have to go through and assign each of the disciplines to the new subclass. And if they want to create new disciplines, then they are going to have assign among the current subclasses. It just makes designing new class options way more difficult than they need to be even I do like that any subclass can take any discipline now though.I am glad that they got rid of the floating saving throw and replaced it with Strength of Mind. Although at this point, I wish they would get rid of Strength of Mind and roll it into a Discipline. There is really no need to have it as a defining class feature since I am guessing 99% of the time people will end up just end up staying with Wisdom, or using Constitution and Dexterity as their default replacement. It could easily be the non-PP consuming part of a discipline or ditch the substitution aspect and make having a third transferable saving throw a greater discipline. It doesn't seem too out of line. I do think they are moving the right way with this. The talents are very welcome. I would just like to see something even simpler. It seems about an order of magnitude to complicated. That said, I would love to see someone rework the Monk with a lot of these design principles and structures. There are some real good ideas that would make that class flow a bit better than the huge class feature treadmill that we have now there.</blockquote>
