Monk, Martial, Oriental: Monks posses an interesting array of talents. The monk is excellent in unarmed and non-lethal physical combat. The monk is centered around the physical TRAIT, but has a variety of spiritual, and mental skills as well. They also posses limited priestly abilities. Monks are personas that are thoughtful, honorable, and stoic. Try to think of a balance between the physical, mental, and spiritual sides of the monk when creating the HP. Monks tend to use speed over might, think of this when deciding where to place attribute scores (PN attributes should tend to be higher then PM attributes).

The monk strives to be at one with nature, theirs surroundings, and the cosmos. This vocation tends to use physical force as a last resort. When force is needed the monk is properly trained to deal with most threats.
