  It's so weird to me that monks don't get like a shit ton of free stats. They are all over the place so they benefit greatly from spreaded stats AND their fantasy is all about self-improvement, body and mind.

  "Kamehameha or whatever ungodly name your local translator gave the ball of energy Goku and pals shoot at people" master Pointy that sentence had such vitality to it

  The biggest flex I ever did was telling everyone I was going to play a monk, but instead of a Naruto running weeb, I made a monk from a European medieval monastery. Bookish, religious, very preachy, and adverse to fighting.

  Monks are particularly fun with a permissive DM that lets the player lean way into the whole "you can just run up walls and generally be a ninja" shtick. The monk player in my current Strahd campaign gets into all kinds of shit because she plays the character like an incredibly nimble, kleptomaniac Leeroy Jenkins, it's really funny.

  A home rule you can implement is people can exchange health points for ki. People pushing their bodies so far that it <b>hurts</b> . They <b>need</b> to help their friends. They <b>need</b> to win. So much so that they are willing to give all that they <b>are</b> to this cause.

  The Bene Gesserit sisterhood is kinda monk like too, with all their abilities coming from a mastery of their minds and bodies. &nbsp;They can use the voice to influence people, store diseases within their own bodies they can infect others with at will (which is why duke Harkonnen is like that), slow thier own aging although it is forbidden, access genetic memories, move at almost superhuman speed, predict enemy movements based on barely perceptible muscle twitches. &nbsp;Monks don&apos;t have to be wushu coded. &nbsp;They can be a network of manipulative witch nuns too.

  There&apos;s just something so fun about watching a pointy hat emote with a single eye and get placed on top of the heads of countless meme-able people.

  There&apos;s a few more monk subclasses, like you said:<br>- Way of the Long Death (for people who wanted the Quivering Palm feature to be an entire subclass)<br>- Way of Mercy (for the plague doctors and spiritual healers)<br>- Way of the Kensei (for the guys who want to use better weapons)<br>- Way of the Drunken Fist (for the Jackie Chan fans)
