GamingShogun.com sat down and interviewed Jay Wilson while at BlizzCon today. For those of you who do not know, Jay Wilson is the game's director meaning if its happening in the game - chances are he knows about it. Diablo III has no set release date at this time but looks to bring the hack-n-slash gameplay of old into the modern world of gaming today.

From the Interview:
"GS) Where does the line get drawn with the new Monk class as far as what kind of armor he can use?

JW) Well, we don't do any kind of restrictions for armor...What we do is customize the look of the armor, and, some characters get more benefits from armor than others. So, for example, the Barbarian has an innate kind of bonus to the armor that he puts on whereas the Monk - not as much...One of the things we talked about early on with the Monk was, 'Well he's not going to have any items, right?'. And, we're like 'No' - that's just silly. If he couldn't have items, we couldn't do him."
