Generally I'd say the poll is running too soon, because knuckles aren't blessable yet and their power remains a question.

Yeah this poll may be a little early, but I would like to see how the players feel on the change.
For one, DO NOT base your vote off of one Monk people, and yes I mean an Ancient one with a good tome. This is a necessary change to a class that should of had GM med the whole time here at Pang, at least IMO.
Dropping eval int isn't really needed if we nerf Anatomy/Healing. We need to look at this realistically also, this doesn't make the Monk a strong damage character. This gives them a better stat bless, more armor(which they need much more than a Priest) and they become what I believe was intended. A character with the capability of dealing damage with fists(pending the knuckle fix) with a high risk of being one hit, and a more open support role if they choose to do so. This change will obviously bring in new tactics and fixes will have to be made, but I don't see 100 Meditation being a negative. This would make them useful characters outside of a religion also, at least much more than a priest.
