Looking for feed back on my Monk Samurai Archetype.

Rest is fine. Pretty good over all. You should just post this to the /5eg/ though.

It's an interesting idea, but my question is why? Slapping armour and martial weapons on the monk kind of defeats the purpose of being a monk in the first place. Elegant courtier gets a little bit of extra use but beyond that it doesn't really make any sense when you've got a perfectly good fighter right there.

Didn't they make Kensai for people that wanted to be swordmonks?

>>51353375
Why not play l5r?

>>51354556
Yeah but Kensei is terrible.

Fighter lacks the inherent mobility and complexity to make a genuinely interesting Samurai class.

>>51355405
Because I wanna play 5e.

Thanks for the vote of confidence
