New PHB-Havers: Thoughts?

[akaddk]

I don't care for the elemental monk ethier. But I really like the Shadow monk.

As I said, liking it and saying it's "meh" are two different things. Meh implies that it's boring or uninspiring. The elemental monk is anything but meh.

And talking about skills, they really suck now. They're unreliable and the difference between a non proficiencient character and a proficiencient one is almost meaningless, especially on skills that aren't used often.

Don't know where you're getting that from. My experience has been wholly different.

There's also just a few feats and barely one or two that fit most concepts.

This is my one real gripe. There just aren't enough feats and, more importantly, not enough variety to the feats.
