Monk Game Rule Information
Monks have the following game statistics:
Abilities: Wisdom powers the monk’s special offensive and defensive capabilities. Dexterity provides the unarmored monk with a better defense and with bonuses to some class skills.
Alignment: Any lawful.
Hit Die: d8.
To Hit/Damage: Monks do not gain to hit or damage bonus from high strength. Instead, a monk’s wisdom bonus (if any) is used. See ki.
Initiative: Monks gain +4 to combat initiative rolls to represent their quick reactions.
Skills/NWP’s: Monks can assign nonweapon proficiencies from the same groups as Palidins. Due to the rigorous mental and physical training regimen a monk can learn most wisdom and dexterity based non-weapon proficiencies with a cost of only 1 proficiency slot. This includes Blind Fighting.
