Monk Rant

[Shurrikhan]

Sharing specific mechanics doesn't mean that the job is homogenized.

It does in this case, however, mean that you're deprioritizing job identity specifically to enforce a sub-role identity.

If Iaijutsu were to fit Monk to the point it feels more like a Monk to have them than to not, I'd be happy to have them. If not, I don't. It's as simple as that.

Forcing every Striking job to have casts just because they're striking jobs is to ignore what vibes they already have in common holistically... in favor of a single characteristic that was purposely open to distinction / seemingly meant to be specific to a single job. It'd be like to say all real life monks are monks only because they're missing the hair on the top of their scalp and must therefore all do so, all while ignoring whatever asceticism they have in common.
