Having to sacrifice power for flavour should be normal. I don't disagree with this entirely, I certainly think some ridiculous concepts should require a significant sacrifice. But I'm definitely more on the 'isolate flavour picks from power picks' side of the scale
I dunno, I think sacrificing power for flavor is part of the fun. I'm looking forward to playing my half-orc monk knowing full well it's not best choice, because that trade off is appealing
