MONK MONKS
 
Monks are ascetics who learn their skills at a monastery instead of a
guild.  Monks must practice rigorous mental and physical training and
discipline to achieve their powers.  Although they perform incredible
physical and mental feats, they cannot cast spells.  They receive their
powers through heavy meditation.  Monks are guardians of knowledge and are
also masters of unarmed combat.  Most monks shun weapons as the last resort
of the weak.  Because monks rely on their quickness, they can not wear heavy
clothing.  Also, due to their exstensive training monks excel beyond most
mortals in their skill in hand to hand fighting, surpassing normal
boundaries.  Monks are also able to stay the killing blow to their opponent,
instead granting them mercy
