[collapse=⌘ The Monk][center][color=white]To master combat is to master the self.
The spirit manifests itself in the body.
A pure self is a pure spirit, which is a pure body.
You are the empty vessel which can be filled.
You are the whisper of the air, the strength of the earth
The passion of great fires, and the gentle wash of the sea.
Through training, your mind, body and soul
Have traveled along the eightfold path
Was it in search of enlightenment? Or perhaps
you were seeking for the discipline to overcome
all difficulties under Heaven? Either way,
the lotus unfolds.
And in the center is you.[/color]

[color=white][sub]Your HP is [b]8 + your Constitution[/b]. Your carry weight is [b]4 + your Strength[/b]. Your damage is 1d6.[/sub][/color][/center]

[big][b]Martial Style[/b][/big]
You have been trained in a variety of martial arts, and may select a style at the beginning of each combat. Styles cannot be changed mid-combat.
✴ Crane Style: Polearm weapons, such as spears, bo staves, halberds, nagimaki greatsword or glaives increase your damage to 1d8. In addition, Hack and Slash rolls of 12+ sweep enemies off their feet (assuming they are capable of such), making them incapable of moving or fleeing, and turning 7-9 Hack and Slash or Volley rolls made against them into 10+ rolls until the beginning of their turn. When using this style, you lose 1 point of armor against Hack and Slash attacks.

✴ Viper Style: One handed monk weapons, such as nunchaku, kamas, sais, swords or fans increase your damage to 1d8. In addition, Hack and Slash rolls of 12+ can disarm armed opponents. When using this Style, you lose 1 point of armor against Volley attacks.

✴ Tiger Style: Using your bare hands and feet, or hand-weapons like caesti, knuckle-dusters, and claws, increases your damage to 1d8. In addition, you may choose to give Hack and Slash rolls with these weapons gain the Forceful tag. When using this style, you gain +1 armor against Hack and Slash attacks made against you.

[big][b]Spiritual Discipline[/b][/big]
When you spend several hours in meditation, you empower your spirit.  At the beginning of each session, gain a number of Ki points equal to your Wisdom modifier plus your Dexterity OR Strength modifier. Ki points are regained at the start of the next session.
✴ 1 Ki point may be used to:
• Land safely from an otherwise damaging fall.
• Ask a single DR question as a minor action, without rolling.
• Spend five minutes meditating, and remove a single standard debility.
✴ 2 Ki points may be used to:
• Jump a high wall or a large gap.
• Add +1 to a DD roll.
• Make a DD+Wis roll to disbelieve an illusion, or shake off the effects of mental control.
✴ 3 Ki points may be used to:
• Gain an extra Major Action during this turn of combat.

[big][b]Self Defense[/b][/big]
When you wear no armor and wield no shield or parrying dagger, you may add EITHER your Strength Modifier or your Dexterity modifier to your Armor.

[big][b]Monastic Secrets[/b][/big]
Choose one secret discipline that has been taught to you.
( ) Combat and Warfare
( ) Nature, Flora and Fauna
( ) Alchemy and Physiology

Whenever you roll Discern Realities or Spout Lore about your chosen discipline, you may replace one of the available questions with one of your own wording, and the GM will answer you truthfully.
