Monk

Description: Monks are ascetics who learn their skills at one of the several monastic enclaves found throughout the world of Sosel. Their spiritual training emphasizes the simultaneous development of mind and body as a path to understanding and enlightenment. Perfection, for them, lies in perfect control own spirit - achieving harmony between mind and body. To this end they become master of combat forms, not to become great fighters but to learn their physical powers and limitations. At the same time they undergo a rigorous mental discipline, honing their minds to perceive and understand the mysteries of the cosmos. Although they can perform incredible physical and mental feats, they do not draw their mystical powers from the gods.
