Swift as the air, he strikes with blinding speed. Fluid as the river, he sweeps his opponents under his current, leaving them prone to his unceasing assault. Tough as the earth, he unflinchingly absorbs the hardest blows. Passionate as the fire, he is always ready for more. To those who have mastered both body and mind, there is no part of either which cannot be used as a weapon. In the eyes of any unfortunate soul swept under the Monk's feet, even the finest warhammers wish they had the punch of the Monk's fists.
Abilities
The Monk's primary A-Ability is Martial Arts.
Most Martial Arts can only be used with Gloves equipped, or bare handed.
Monk Feature Abilities
Way of the Fist
Feature
Effect: A Monk wearing Gloves can use a Chain 1 Martial Arts ability as their free, full ACC action instead of a basic attack.
When a Monk makes basic attacks or Weapon abilities outside of Martial Arts while unarmed or with Gloves, they may choose whether the attack is a Punch or a Kick.
In addition, the Monk may select multiple Reaction abilities from Martial Arts. If multiple are triggered simultaneously, the Monk must choose which one to trigger.
The Monk receives one of Pummel, Spinning Kick, or Lion Hand for free as an Innate.
Brawler
Innate
Effect: The Monk's unarmed attacks have a WP based on their Rank, per the table listed below.
If a Monk makes a Kick attack, they deal their normal damage instead of the listed damage.
In addition, when a Monk wears no gear in either their Head or Armor slot, they gain benefits based on the table listed below.
A Monk may still wear Relics and gain these benefits.
Grappling
Many of the Monk's abilities involve grappling. When a target is grappled, the character that initiated the grapple is called the Initiator, and the character being grappled is the Grappled. A character can only successfully grapple a target if they are unarmed, have a hand with nothing equipped in it, or are using Gloves.
While grappling, both the Initiator and the Grappled:
- Have half EVA.
- Cannot target anything else other than each other (or themselves).
- Can only move 1 square, regardless of their MOV or movement granting abilities. When they move, the other character moves into the space they vacated.
- Critical misses targeting one character will automatically hit the other (no EVA).
The Initiator:
- Has +20 ACC against the Grappled.
- Can move via certain Martial Arts abilities.
- Can use abilities that require the target to be Grappled, and can combo off Grapple abilities.
The Grappled:
- May only target the Initiator or themselves.
- As a Static 1, can attempt to break away with a DEX vs. RES check. If the check is beaten by at least 20, they can instead maintain the grapple and become the Initiator, making the other character the Grappled.
