A monk is a sub-class of cleric dedicated to a monastic order. They devote their lives to prayer, manual labor, physical training, scholarship, and spiritual growth.
Monks are committed to the preservation of ancient knowledge and academic study.
Monks lead highly-disciplined lives and take vows of poverty, chastity, andobedience unto death. Monks serve as warriors, administrators, and counsel, subject to
the needs of their liege lord and monastic order. Monks seek to rid themselves of worldly distractions, material and corporeal, in favor of spiritual enlightenment.
Role: Monks are second-line warriors with excellent maneuverability, learnèd scholars, and spell-casters.
Alignment: Monks, like their deities, must be lawful in alignment. Only lawful deities have monastic orders.
Vow of Silence: If a monk violates their alignment, faith, deity, or monastic order, they are required to take a Vow of Silence. The vow lasts for one experience level.
Holy Chant: The monk may chant, as their sole action in a melee round, and provide Protection from Evil/Good in a 30 foot radius. Further, those in the area of
effect are immune to Sleep, Charm, Hold, and mind-influencing spells. If the monk attacks or takes damage, the effect ends. This ability is useable once per day and
does not stack with other forms of Protection from Evil/Good.
Physical Discipline: Monks may dodge Magic Missilewith a successful Spell save. When saving against all forms of damage, a successful save that normally
results in half-damage scores no damage.
Ancient Lore: Due to their education, monks may, with a successful Wisdom Check, ascertain one piece of detail about any historical artifact. The information
gleaned is subject to the Maze Controller.
Turn Undead: At Level 3, a monk may turn undead as a Level 1 Cleric.
Scholarship: A Level 4, Monk may Comprehend Languages at-will.
Holy Pilgrimage: At Level 5, a monk must make a pilgrimage to a site sacred to their monastic order.
Monk’s Habit: Good-aligned monks wear brown habits, neutral-aligned monks wear gray, and evil-aligned monks wear black.
