Monks are the unrivaled masters of unarmed combat. Many hale from secluded monasteries where they seek enlightenment through contemplation and physical training. Others may be wanderers who studied under a solitary master. Wherever they learned martial arts, there is no mistaking the potent ki attacks and precision pressure point strikes that a skilled monk can deliver with his bare hands.
In many ways, the monk's fighting style is antithetical to how other classes approach combat. Savages seek victory through fury; monks attain it through inner peace. Warriors dominate their opponents through strength of arms; to a monk, the strongest weapon is oneself. It is this difference which sets them apart and allows them to achieve serene perfection through martial arts.
