Base Class: Monk
The Way of the Dad is not taught in a classroom, but thrust upon its students the moment their child is born. The life of a dad is unpredictable and chaotic, and a dad must learn to go with the punches, while also being a competent fighter. A dad must be strict while gentle; loving while firm; tough while soft; goofy while serious. The life of a dad is a blend of two extremes, which he must keep in constant balance to achieve the most coveted rank of 'Number 1 Dad'.
A dad often enjoys being a goofy guy, making silly jokes, or dorky hobbies; but when battle is joined, the dad can be a maddening, masterful foe.
