Monk/Archetypes

== Table: Monk Archetypes ==
Archetype 	Description
Blitzballer 	Blitzballers are masters of the blitzballs. These monks view blitzballs as an extension of unarmed strikes, and these masters can infuse blitzballs with their ki.
Chi Master 	The chi master believes that violence is sometimes necessary, but knowing and understanding is the true root of perfection.
Diminutive Adept 	A diminutive adept turns his diminutive stature and unorthodox footwork into a powerful weapon. Effortlessly moving across the battlefield, he ducks under the legs of larger creatures and then topples them with surprising attacks. Available only to small monks.
Ironskin Monk 	Through discipline and training, an ironskin monk hardens his body to withstand punishing blows. Though slow on his feet, his calloused hands and feet can shatter stone and stagger foes.
Ki Warrior 	Ki warriors are monks who have learned to harness the life energy called ki, and forge it into a deadly weapon enhancer, using their own bodies as weapons. These ki warriors are masters of the martial arts and hence are only hindered by the use of manufactured weapons and armors. A ki warrior’s ki infuses them with many abilities, and unlocks the legendary super transformations that grants them phenomenal strength and agility.
Master of Many Styles	The master of many styles is a collector. For every move, he seeks a counter. For every style, he has a riposte. Ultimately, he seeks perfection through the fusion of styles.
Meowfist 	A meowfist is a student of the school of hard knocks, who dedicates himself to learning how to take down foes by any means necessary. A meowfist isn’t afraid to smash a tankard over a foe’s head, stomp an opponent’s foot, gouge an eye, or generally create mayhem to gain any possible advantage. Available only to small monks.
Monk of the Wild 	Monks of the wild grow up in the wild and often emulate the animals they have seen in the wild.
Nimble Guardian 	Some mithra monks dedicate their graceful prowess to the defense of others, especially those dedicated to a similar ethos or who prove themselves as stalwart allies of the monk’s cause.
Peacekeeper 	Monks are warriors who hone their bodies into deadly weapons, but some garif monks eschew violence in favor of a more peaceful philosophy. While a peacekeeper realizes that combat cannot always be avoided—and is more than capable in a fight—he understands that all creatures are connected, and to harm another is to harm the self. Instead, he strives to find peaceful resolutions to conflicts, and in doing so, hopes to achieve inner peace.
Scaled Fist 	Steeped in traditions that trace their origins to the gria warrior-monks who master the power of their draconic heritage, scaled fists eschew passive introspection in favor of unshakable confidence. Scaled fists learn to combine brutal intimidation with the brazen ferocity of an ancient wyrm to devastate their foes.
Student of the Stone 	By following the path of the stone, students of stone give up much of monks’ mobility in favor of sheer resilience. Available only to dwarf and kobold monks.
Treetop Monk 	While many viera follow traditional monastic training and traditions, others learn to blend exotic combat and the mysterious forces of ki with the natural world, allowing them to move through trees and overgrowth to deliver devastating attacks.
Wanderer 	Some monks wander the world in humility to learn and to share wisdom and philosophy from their teachers with those they meet, often aiding those who are in need.
White Monk 	Monks that heed the call of tranquility in white magic are often called White Monks. They focus upon the healing and holy aspect of magic than the animalistic nature of their martial arts.
