Clouded Horizons:Monk

Monk is a Base Class in the Eighth Realm specializing in hand-to-hand combat and cleansing Holy techniques to battle enemies.

Overview

The monk is a melee class that specializes in making devastating unarmed attacks. It is especially unique in the fact that it has large pool of Stamina to draw from to make up for its limited armor selection and unremarkable defensive ability. In addition, the monk is a first-rate counter-attack specialist, and has a small collection of Holy-based techniques, offensive and defensive in nature.
