Think of Bruce Lee. He wasn't the biggest guy or the strongest, but he could break your ribs with a twitch of his arm and take on several people at once.
Mine are... about half that, if I take in to consideration his position and how far away we're viewing him. I think it's a more mature step than we've seen in video games of the last two decades (1990~2010). No more muscle-bound freaks.

Bruce Lee will get crushed by the modern MMA fighter.. He has no chance what so ever.
That is not true. How can you judge someone after they are dead? It's not like he would be fighting people twice his weight, he would be matched against someone in his range. There is a movie fight-choreographer named Cung Lee who fights in the UFC right now and he whoops ass. He is pretty much like a modern day Bruce Lee.

You need to wake up.
From Wikipedia:
Lee's phenomenal fitness meant he was capable of performing many exceptional physical feats.[25][26][27][28] "A man able to perform super human feats that have yet to be equaled."[29] The following list includes some of the physical feats that are attributed to Bruce Lee.
Lee's striking speed from three feet with his hands down by his side reached five hundredths of a second.[30]
Lee could take in one arm a 75 lb barbell from a standing position with the barbell held flush against his chest and slowly stick his arms out locking them, holding the barbell there for 20 seconds.[12]
Lee's combat movements were at times too fast to be captured on film for clear slow motion replay using the traditional 24 frames per second of that era, so many scenes were shot in 32 frames per second for better clarity.[31][32][33]
In a speed demonstration, Lee could snatch a dime off a person's open palm before they could close it, and leave a penny behind.[34]
Lee could bench press 260 lbs for 3 sets of 10 reps in his routine workout[15].
Lee would hold an elevated v-sit position for 30 minutes or longer.[27]
Lee could throw grains of rice up into the air and then catch them in mid-flight using chopsticks.[35]
Lee could thrust his fingers through unopened cans of Coca-Cola. (This was when soft drinks cans were made of steel much thicker than today's aluminum cans).[33]
Lee performed one-hand push-ups using only the thumb and index finger.[28][35][36]
Lee could break wooden boards 6 inches (15 cm) thick.[38]
Lee could cause a 200-lb (90.72 kg) bag to fly towards and thump the ceiling with a sidekick.[28]
Lee performed a sidekick while training with James Coburn and broke a 150 lb (68 kg) punching bag.[27][39]
In a move that has been dubbed "Dragon Flag", Lee could perform leg lifts with only his shoulder blades resting on the edge of a bench and suspend his legs and torso horizontal midair.[40]
Bruce Lee isn't a legend in martial arts for nothing. Keep in mind that he was the one who invented the concept of MMA, he is officially regarded as the Father of modern MMA.
NEWSFLASH:
The only reason why Chinese or Asian martial artists aren't dominating in UFC is because Regulation 15 of UFC forbids any pressure point strikes, which effectively makes UFC a contest purely of physical size and strength.
This is why Brock Lesnar, a former WWF wrestler, won the recent UFC championship despite it was his first entry.
UFC isn't real fighting, it's a spectacle sport. It's more realistic than WWF (considering that WWF are all staged), but it isn't much better.
Because no beard = girly.
Men must have hair coming out from every single place in his body. Thats a manhood law.
Cultural inconsistencies never cease to puzzle me.
Men: To be hairier is always manlier, except when it grows from your scalp, where it must be kept as short as possible. Extra points for a bald scalp, especially if you're black. If it passes your eartips, you're a fag or a hippie.
Women: To be less hairy is always more ladylike, except when it grows from your scalp, where if it does not pass your earlobes, you're a dyke. If you're bald, you're a hideous, sexless alien thing with cancer and AIDS. Women cannot be judged to be hippies by appearance, only by diet.

Really, now?
^^^ Manliest man in the world
How about this one:
How do you explain men in porn videos always shave their legs and pubic hair?
I think people that truly believe body hair is a sign of masculinity is a hypocrite.
The monk's beard and bald hair are just fine the way it is. I love the design.
You know, it's not really that bad. Looks alone does not a person make. Think about it, when you roll a Monk for the first time you won't care how they look, it's all about how they act. In this case, if a Monk, be it IRL or in Diablo, can turn someone's vital organs into liquid sh** with combat moves that your eyes cannot visibly track, you won't even begin to care how they look. It'll be how you look after he/she gets done with you.
I'll take a quote from one of my favorite RPGs LUNAR 2 as it regards to the OP:
"The measure of a person's worth is not by their wealth. The measure of a person's worth is not by their appearance. The measure of a person's worth is based on the sum of their dreams, their beliefs and their actions."

Avast ye! Scyberdragon be te thank for the sig, arr!
The monk had me to wonder why he have a beard... like Shat said: Shaolin monks are bald. They are shaven. So why he have a beard, but no hair on top of his head? Who knows... Maybe he liked that way... maybe blizzard thought it's cool and they left it as it is now.
Looking at the face, indeed he looks like slav(that would be russian)
So let me get this straight.
People shooting fireballs out of their hands, and summoning zombie dogs, etc does not bother your sensibilities about realism
But a monk who decides to grow a beard is proposterous and unrealistic and your against it =)
Whoa them stats on Bruce Lee are sick.some of them seem unbelievable especially the part about grains of rice and catching them with a chopstick, that takes Mr. Miyagi to a whole other level!
They are remaking the Karate Kid. Jackie Chan is in it. I think they are calling it the Kung Fu Kid

Being used for cleaning sand in quarries, it has many advantages compared with traditional spiral sand washing machine: There is little loss for medium-sized and fine sand and stone powder
However there is one thing I do believe, is that the 3D rendition on the
character page of the male monk is way too skinny. He looks like he's getting atrophy in his shoulders and biceps.
Blizzard have already stated that the 3d renders there are terrible, because they keep the game proportions for the renders, but in game your viewing the monk from a fair way away, thus changing their look.

You are right, but BL was still pretty buff.
I believe your thinking of Chuck Norris, if hes Chuck Norris then hes man enough without anything at all, except his name.
Actually hes even man enough without his name. If his name is Chuck Norris, and then loses his name, he is still Chuck Norris.
That is not true. How can you judge someone after they are dead? It's not like he would be fighting people twice his weight, he would be matched against someone in his range.
