[QUOTE="Tales and Chronicles, post: 8068356, member: 6871653"] I wish the theme of the monk was expanded to the general wuxia/anime martial artist/JRPG character and other unarmored but weapon wielding characters. Remove the forced unarmed fighting thing and allow them to use different weapon. I would also ignore the whole: use DEX for weapon. but not all of them: have their armorless feature give them a flat AC bonus when unarmored. [LIST] [*]Gain +2 or 3 AC when unarmored, can still use shields (to allow for the 300's Spartans or LoZ's Link build). No AC bonus added by Wis. [*]Techniques DC based on their Wis mod. [*]This would make them reliant on 2 stats, like most gish-y character, with Con being an important third stat. You could go with Dex build to boost your AC and use smaller weapon, or go Str and have a lower AC but use bigger weapons. [/LIST] High str, Medium dex, con, wis could be Link, Cloud, or any sohei with an halberd, or a gladiators. High dex, Medium str, con, wis could be a duelist or swashbucker, you traditional ninja or two-daggers dancer. Make them not based of the old trope of mystical ascetic martial artist, but more as characters that use their fighting style as a way of life. [/QUOTE]
