I'm not sure why you would even play the Monk in D&D 3rd edition or its forks, given how much do they suck in comparison to pretty much any other class in the game.

Well, wtf of the day for me: apparently one of my many cousins is at least tangentially involved in a huge scandal in the US involving some medic (couldn't find his name) and a senator (Robert Menendez).

Monks seem vaguely based on monks like the Shaolin monks rather than the European monastaries.

Many Shaolin monks put on performances of their martial arts and the like

When my avatar loads initially, it is crisp as usual. However, it becomes blurry after a few seconds. Is this happening to anybody else?

Knowing Belgium, everyone will vote for themselves out of mistrust for anyone else, and some kind of weird direct democracy coalition will need to be formed from 11 million or so individuals.

Yes, why would you ever want to play anything that isn't tier 1, or maybe a tier 2 if the DM bans all those T1 primary casters? They're called rollplaying games for a reason, and you're not having fun if you're not trivializing the rest of the party, right?

It's based on the browser and how it loads the images. The behavior I generally see is that all avatars are square until all of them load, then they get their proportions and maybe some antialiasing.

See, I fell into a similar trap before - that optimisation and roleplaying is a one-or-the-other situation.

Monk, is at the end of a day, a class. A bad one. You can build a unarmed fighter that works better than a monk and say "This guy is a monk of X temple," and play him as such. And you can't say that's wrong. If it talks like a monk, walks like a monk, and punches (better) than a monk, you can call it a monk even if it's not a Monk.

You played a Monk that had been significally buffed from it's original interpretation. Because if it's too weak that hinders roleplaying, too. A master of martial arts getting chumped by every fighter it comes across is probably antithesis to what you were intending.

There are silly things, like half-dragon half-minotaur half-ogre kobolds, yes. But aside from the really silly things like that an optimised character can provide opportunities. They have a weird combat style - who taught them it? How did they discover it? That sort of stuff still applies.
