===Way of the Four Elements Monk===
For the most part, the [[monk]] class is quite well liked, especially as it folded the [[ninja]] into itself straight out of the corebook. But, one subclass has earned more than its share of complaints, and that is the Way of 4 Elements. In a nutshell, the problem is that while an awesome idea, being literally an [[Avatar: The Last Airbender]] style [[gish|martial artist-]][[elementalist]], the subclass's unique powers are arguably overpriced in how much Ki they require to cast which, combined with how hard it is for the monk to ''regain'' Ki, means that a player is actually discouraged from using the very powers that made them want to play this subclass in the first place! Although monks do replenish all of their ki when they take a short rest, that's the only mechanic they have for doing so, and that basically means this Way turns the monk in a particularly limited half-caster.
