Monk
Base Class: Monk

Monks who follow the way of the wanderer are those who favour exploration and adventure and have a drive to see the world with all its wonders and horrors. Some find solace wandering from village to village defending the small folk from bandits and raiders while others join parties and groups in search of epic adventures. These monks are masters of armed and unarmed combat and can draw upon there ki to empower weapons they are bonded too as a way to extend there martial prowess. They are able to manipulate these weapons and change the damage to fend of enemies of all types but also to regain energies lost. Later with training they can even attack so fast they seem to vanish before reappearing with a pile of bodies laid around them. However with all these noble goals some fall from this  path finding ways to use these learnt skills for darker means. These include becoming mercenaries and those with a reputation have come to be known an ronins who sell there blade to those who can pay.
