These monks stray from the traditional path of life for most monks at a young age. Instead, they begin their training to be silent, quick, and deadly footmen with an enhanced skillset. They can range from scouts, messengers, or even assassins. They use sneaky attacks, thrown weapons, and move in the shadows to get the job done.

Additionally, you can use your flurry of blows with small (handheld) thrown weapons, provided you have enough weapons on your person to throw.
