Congratulations on explaining the Monk. An Internet is yours.

I always thought the Battle Dancer evolved from body guards for Diplomats; why have a high-Charisma unarmed fighter? Because they go places where carrying weapons is extremely impolite, but tensions are high.
I still haven't figured out why the fighter exists. It's completely anachronistic in any setting that allows spellcasting.
