Monk

Monks are versatile warriors skilled at fighting without weapons or armor. Good-aligned monks serve as protectors of the people, while evil monks make ideal spies and assassins. Though they don't cast spells, monks channel an inner strength that allows them to manage great feats of skill, strength and personal control. Many consider the ability of a trained monk to be a supernatural ability. Monks suffer unique penalties to their abilities if they wear armor, as doing so violates their rigid oath. A monk wearing armor loses their Wisdom and level based Armor Class bonuses, their movement speed, and their additional unarmed attacks per round.

Note: The term "ki" should be considered an OOC description, and does not refer to any sort of magical, divine, or supernatural power; characters do not channel ki, nor does ki exist as any sort of energy in itself. Any players who do choose to use the term as part of their RP should recognize that the ability to use "ki" based feats or abilities is the result of years of practice and extreme focus and concentration, leading to supreme muscle and nerve control. We prefer that "ki" be not used in this context at all.

Description	Monks are versatile warriors skilled at fighting without weapons or armor. Good-aligned monks serve as protectors of the people, while evil monks make ideal spies and assassins. Though they don't cast spells, monks channel a subtle energy, called ki. This energy allows them to perform amazing feats, such as healing themselves, catching arrows in flight, and dodging blows with lightning speed. Their mundane and ki-based abilities grow with experience, granting them more power over themselves and their environment. Monks suffer unique penalties to their abilities if they wear armor, as doing so violates their rigid oaths. A monk wearing armor loses their Wisdom and level based armor class bonuses, their movement speed, and their additional unarmed attacks per round. - Alignment Restrictions: Any lawful. - Hit Die: d8. - Proficiencies: Proficient with monk weapons. - Skill Points (*4 at 1st level): 4 + Int Modifier.
