Monk
Monks are warriors who pursue perfection through contemplation as well as action. They are versatile fighters, especially skilled in combat without weapons or armour. Though monks cannot cast spells, they have a unique magic of their own. They channel a subtle energy, called ki, which allows them to perform amazing feats. The monk’s best known feat is their ability to stun an opponent with an unarmed blow.


Available Race(s): Human


Primary Attribute(s): Constitution (9 Minimum), Dexterity (9 Minimum), Wisdom (9 Minimum)


Stronghold: The Monk can acquire the de'Arnise Keep as his stronghold. See our Monk Quests section for more information.
