These scale with your level." It's not good design to entirely invalidate classes, regardless of their balance level. There should always be an incentive of some sort to take more levels in the class, even if it's just so your unarmed strike, flurry, AC bonus, and stunning fists per day scale. --[[User:Ghostwheel|Ghostwheel]] ([[User talk:Ghostwheel|talk]]) 21:45, 23 March 2014 (UTC) |

| I wrote out my reasoning twice already and the little box kept closing and losing my work. I'm not going to spell it out again. Suffice to say that, in a Moderate game, the usefulness of a Low class is irrelevant. No harm is done by compressing it into a feat. |

| I like things that scale scaling features (such as IL, CL, etc) without granting new features. I find that fair and just. That... and it's monk. Its the archetypal weak class. No complaints here. |
