As a monk gains experience and power, his mundane and ki-oriented abilities grow, giving him more and more power over himself and, sometimes, over others. He channels a subtle energy, called ki, which allows him to perform amazing feats, the best known of which is the ability to stun an opponent with an unarmed blow. Though a monk casts no spells, he has a magic of his own. Thanks to his rigorous training, he can strike as hard as if he were armed and strike faster than a warrior with a sword. The key feature of the monk is his ability to fight unarmed and unarmored. MONK: Monks are warriors who pursue perfection through action as well as contemplation.
