Monastic Tradition: Way of the Force

Monks that follow the way of the force use their ki to manipulate the world around them with a special energy known as the force. They also use special monk weapons that create a blade of energy called a lightsaber. Monks under the way of the force have different ideals when it comes to using it. The ones who use the force for good are known as Jedi, and the ones who use the force for their own personal gain are the Sith. Some force users prefer not to be in either society and are usually left to fend for themselves. When playing a way of the force monk, you will need to think about what master you serve, and how you gained your abilities.
