MONK

Monks are barehanded fighters that invoke the help of their religious order in battle through chants. At level 15 or higher, a monk wielding a weapon will incur a damage penalty. Starting at level 15, a monk will gradually lose his ability to wear armor. A monk gains damroll, hitroll, and armor class with levels. A monk can do a barehand damage equivalent to (2 d level/2)

Along with natural armor class, the monk has the ability to save against all attacks by a quarter (1/4) of normal damage. Saving success depends on the armor class of the monk and the levels of the monk and attacker

 

 
Chant Level 1

Chant is used by Monks to chant a song. The song name should not be in quotes. A list of monk chants can be obtained by typing 'practice' if the player is a monk.

Disarm Level 1
The chance of a disarm depends upon how well you are learned. To disarm someone is to attempt to 'knock' away that person's weapon. If you succeed you will cause him to drop his weapon. If you miss, your opponent will be able to attack one extra round.

A disarm makes you unable to type commands for 3 rounds of violence for a success, 2 rounds of violence without.A character without a weapon will do less damage and will be unable to parry.

 

Heroism Level 8

Doorbash Level 10
This MONK skill will bash in doors. The success rate depends on your weight, strength and how much you have practiced. If you succeed, locked and closed doors are opened. If you fail, and the door is locked, you may jam it. If the door is jammed, it cant be picked, unlocked or bashed again (It may still be phased through though).

You will suffer minor injury if you bash the door in correctly, and more serious injury if you fail. Therefore, you must be reasonably healthy to even have a chance at bashing.
