Monk

Monks are powerful and contemplative ascetics who live in monastic conclaves far away from the hustle and bustle of civilization. Dedicated to their spiritual development and progress, monks seek to achieve enlightenment. This is easier said than done, however, and few have ever been able to achieve this lofty goal.
== Abilities ==
The key ability of monks is their ability to manipulate their life force, which they call ki, to produce a broad range of effects.

== Subclasses ==
Monk subclasses are known as Monastic Traditions.
=== Way of the Drunken Master ===
The most peculiar and unorthodox of the monastic traditions, drunken masters utilize unpredictability to their advantage while in battle.
=== Way of the Four Elements ===
Monks of the Four Elements focus their Ki in order to manipulate the four elements.
=== Way of the Kensei ===
The Kensei hone their skills with the use of weapons, such as blades and bows. A mixture of martial artists and warriors, the Kensei fight with the grace and elegance of a calligrapher.
=== Way of the Open Hand ===
Masters of martial arts, these monks are adept at exploiting their opponents' weaknesses while drawing from Ki to bolster their own defenses.
=== Way of the Sun Soul ===
Monks of the Way of the Sun Soul channel their life force, in the medium of Ki, into blasts of energy and light. 
=== Way of Shadow ===
The least orthodox of the monks, the Way of Shadow eschews spiritual enlightenment in favor of secrecy, subterfuge, and espionage. More alike to agents and infiltrators than monks, yet still masters of Ki manipulation, monks of the Way of Shadow will be shunned and ostracized by other monks they encounter.
