The missing CMAN that really messes with my head is zero shield abilities for a square. Sure, they don't have to train in shields, but it's a valid option and they should have the small, medium, large focus w/ shielded brawler as an option. That gives them a way to equip some CvA defense (w/ T5 ensorcelled shield and full focus training) by sacrificing some of their dodge potency, training points, and MM.
But, utility is a thing, and they don't really have it (yet??).
