Hello everyone,   As I was going over the PHB and read about the Disciple of the Elements Monk, all I could think about is how closely this resembles the Avatar from The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra. I thought it could be fun to try to build a good avatar this way. Since you only get four elemental disciplines, the Avatar should choose one discipline for each element. Conversely, if you want to make a firebender, this character could only pick fire disciplines.   My picks would be:   Air: Fist of Unbroken Air - no brainer for me, air punching a creature from a distance just screams awesome! Fire: Fangs of the Fire Snake - seems pretty cool to extend your reach and adding fire damage to your kicks and punches (Azula and Zuko seemed to do this a lot in the show) Earth: Eternal Mountain Defense - surrounding yourself in stones to absorb damage, yes please! Water: Water Whip - tripping enemies with a water whip, this screams bending Katara style, so this would be my water pick!   The cool thing is that there are other fun alternatives to make an awesome 'bender' monk. I really like the flavor of the elemental monk and I think it could be a very fun character to play. Maybe not the damage of a barbarian or vengeance paladin, but still pretty awesome.   What do you all think? And what would your picks be for elemental disciplines?
