Thank you Rau for an intelligent answer. Although Monk does have some decent survivability in other ways, I still don't like the fact that SE seems to be straying from the classic archetypes. I'm old school, and like it that way. Also I don't see the harm in just adding better hp to monk as it stands. It don't have to have the highest hp of all the jobs. I would just like to see monk have at least higher hp than most jobs.
