Monk's Beard

[:1]I hate it, aesthetically and logically.

Why would a character whose "body is their weapon" present the enemy with a nice big bushy handle on their face? It's also a fire hazard.

Please implement a "beard toggle".

Thank you for your time.

Have a nice day.|||Quote:

It's funny how people like to poke at every single detail, even their facial features

Probably the reason why Blizzard gave the monk a beard is to show his maturity and wisdom, like what we see in chinese martial art shows. It is always the highest ranking monks who have beards.|||Quote:

But if you watch the D3 Panels those monks do the "dirty work" of the "church". While patriarchs give orders. So they are not the highest ranking.|||Quote:

Muslims don't have any beard-related language in the Koran. I think you're thinking of Sikhs.

I like the general look of the monk, but his beard is too scraggly and not full or impressive enough to be, well, impressive. I'm curious as to how the female Monk looks.|||Quote:

Yes my bad, I am on 3 different forums and was on a religious discussion :O

Maybe scraggly is because he does not cut it. at all.

And the female part, maybe there is none |||Quote:

Where did you get this info from, its completely opposite of what was stated in the official website.

[BLUE]As any informed student of the peoples and cultures of this world must also realize, this man was one of the monks of Ivgorod, the secretive and reclusive holy warriors of the country.

...

He went on to describe his intense mental and physical training, his unending quest to hone his mind and body into an instrument of divine justice. Though I do wonder for what need his thousand gods would require a mortal man to implement their will. When I asked him why he did not carry a sword or, indeed, any weapon at all, he simply replied, "My body is my weapon." Then raising his hand and tapping his forehead, he added, "As is my mind."[/BLUE]

Generally I think Blizzard tied the beard to his abilities, I doubt a clean shaven young monk would have the ability to assert such powerful skills. And that would leave a wrong impression to the players. Just like the barbarian.|||Quote:

Edit: Your right. My bad, I re watched.|||Beard is badass.|||The beard is actually a trap. If a foe tries to grab hold of it, the monk will just send him flying across the screen with a flick of his neck.

So yeah, every part of their body is a weapon of some sort...
