[QUOTE="Waterbizkit, post: 7041401, member: 6802604"] I imagine most of the responses you'll get to that question will be that they dislike the idea of of "Asian" themed mystical martial artist in their pseudo-European medieval fantasy game. I'd also imagine the idea of an unarmed individual wearing no armor beating the snot out of shield-toting, plate mail wearing knight rubs them the wrong way. In that same vein, punching a dragon to death probably also bothers people, possibly. These seem to be the typical issues leveled at the monk by those who don't particularly care for them. For the record, I have no issue with them myself, but I don't begrudge others their preferences, so to each his own on this matter. As to the OP, I can't think of much that genuinely deserves it's own whole new class. The Mystic or other psionic classes perhaps since traditionally they've had their own unique systems in terms of how their powers function. As someone who like the 4e Warlord it might be nice, but I hardly as fervent about this one as others and would be just as content if it never appeared. Other than that I feel like there's a lot that can be accomplished with the archetype system we already have so I'm not clamoring for any new classes. All the same I'll happily take them if they ever show up. [/QUOTE]
