Meet the Monk

So today we talk about the venerable monk class. This character won't be available too early in the game, but he's a fun class.The monk is quick, but weak, and low on mana. He has to stay away from combat frequently to preserve his health and restore his mana, but once he runs in he is not one to be ignored. Combat Focus gives him an attack bonus for a few turns. Guard Break removes defensive buffs. Paralyze stops enemy movement. Finally, Sudden Blow is a fast damaging attack.

Sudden Blow is not the most damaging attack, but when combined with the attack bonus, and removal of any opposing guard bonuses, he can bring down an enemy very quickly. He may need some time to rest after that, but it won't matter if the opponent is dead.

I'll try to post one of these a week, every Wednesday. Next week, I'll talk about the Pirate. Until then, hopefully I'll figure out video recording and post some gameplay this weekend.
