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 a 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 counterattack specialist and has a small collection of Holy-based techniques, offensive and defensive in nature.
