Some do. Afflictions are where it's at for most of us though. Granted, unlike a monk, we have to work for our afflictions, but still.
Care to explain? Gotta remember, I'm a noob here

Sorry, one of the jokes (or not so jokes) around here is that Monks come with an automatic EZ button because with little effort they can hit you with a crap ton of afflictions. All combat depends on some level on afflictions.
The way warriors work is that the more they hit a certain body part, the more deep wounds that part has. Deep wounds, from least to worst, go Minimal, Light, Medium, Heavy, and Critical. The higher the deep wound status, the better the afflictions the warrior can stick you with. Hitting you in the head with a rapier while you have minimal wounds will only slice open your forehead. But if you have critical wounds, that same rapier hit is likely to slice your head clean off. Deep wounds are cured by applying health to the affected area, so the battle for the warrior is to deliver more wounds and afflictions than you can cure.
I'm afraid I'm not nearly as familiar with monks or the Ninjakari. I do know though that they are nasty and can deal quite a bit of damage and afflictions. Monks work on the kata system and momentum-- you have to build up momentum to unleash your most powerful moves, and your Kata Forms are made up of moves that cost a certain amount of Kata to perform. Or something like that.

Monks > Warriors. D:
Nah, we are so much cooler, and have deeper histories

Thanks for the reply
Leaning towards monk now (not because of the EZ button) simply because I kind of like the speed aspect.... and there's something inherently pleasing about smacking people around with a chain. The combat here seems like its going to be alot more complex (in a good way) than that of Achaea.
Though I'm still teeter tottering... Necromancy looks like a really cool skillset, and I could see some very interesting roleplay opportunities coming off of it...... plus a big orc with a big sword....
What about viability in group fights? Just from looking around it seems like alot of things (village revolts, domothes) revolve around fighting in a group, and which of the two classes are generally more helpful in that area?
(Also, I have no idea what the Domoth thing is, I've just noticed people mentioning it :|)

You won't be fighting in Domoths for a loooong time. Also, in group combat, it really depends. Monks can tear alot of people to shreds, but warriors can just take a beating.
