If they're only half-constructs, then I guess that makes a lot more sense. You also have a point in how abusable a healing cantrip can be. (Cure Minor Wounds, you will be missed)

I don't see how or why Hand-to-Hand Fighting wouldn't synergize with Martial Arts. #NoLogic

Thinking about it more, Monks can use bonus actions to make unarmed strikes when attacking with Monk weapons anyway, one of which is the unarmed strike itself. That completely removes the need to use two-weapon fighting.

EDIT: Welp, if there's a published article on the race, I guess there's no point in arguing too much about it, since I'd like to assume the person who wrote it took into consideration game balance.

EDIT: I also found this. [] It seems pretty balanced to me, outside of maybe the +2 Str to the Juggernaut subrace. That would let a character start with 18 Str, which is pretty broken for standard array and point-buy setups. +1 to Str and Con, though, would be better (identical to mountain dwarves).
