The monk is an offensive
fighter and an expert in the martial arts.
Monks will specialize in spotting, causing and taking advantage of
enemy weaknesses and vulnerabilities. Monks will choose between three
different martial arts styles that will provide them with specialized
attacks and unique abilities. In addition, Monks will have general
attacks and attack chains independent of their chosen martial arts
style.




Official
Description



Monks are masterful martial combatants with the
ability to chain their martial attacks together in a wide variety of
ways to accomplish certain tasks. They can learn combat disciplines
which alter their attacks in powerful ways, allowing them to strike
with fists of fire, assume a stance that greatly increases their armor
class and even teleport to and attack an opponent before he is even
aware of the Monks presence.

damage and that can hurt multiple enemies at once.

enemies,

  • Crane (defensive style)

Other Attacks

The remainder of Monk attacks use endurance.



Heals

Monks develop a rudimentary ability to heal themselves.
