The monastic order believe in the perfection of the self and to achieve this they abandon any dependency on armour and weapons. Instead they rely completely on their own inner strength and force of will, gaining powerful scaling damage with their own fists. They do also have training with simple weapons, being able to use a stick as a quarterstaff or a trident if they need a ranged weapon. They learn skills to heal themself and others by a small amount, throw shurikens, become immune to fall damage and inflict damage to enemies using special monastic techniques. Strength and Dexterity are their favoured attributes.
Lore: In the serene and ancient monasteries scattered across Longbirch, the Monastic Order trains in the art of self-perfection. These monks are dedicated to achieving the highest state of physical and spiritual harmony. They believe that true power comes not from external armaments, but from within. By abandoning all dependency on traditional weapons and armor, they unlock their latent potential, becoming formidable warriors and healers guided by inner strength and force of will.
