Monk
"You thought I was a… bear?"
Often caught in meditation, the Monk is distinguished by their fit statures, determination and trademark bandana's. Whether they are holding up a collapsing building or practicing their jump kicks during a night at the inn, it does not take a trained eye to determine they endure many hardships.
Monks are most easily described by their ability to fight efficiently through the use of blunt weaponry. Whether they use Claws, Poles or their fists, Monks can deal just as much damage in battle thanks to their massive physical strength. The Monk fights best lightweight, making up for the lack of heavy armor through physical and mental training. In addition to their physical prowess, the Monk can offer a variety of offensive and defensive techniques along with a quick reaction time to counter opponents.

Brawler
Passive Slot Cost: 4
Type: Support
Equipment: When the Monk has no weapon equipped, treat the Monk as if they were wielding a weapon which deals (8 x ATK + d8) damage and has a Delay of 40, and a Floor of 20. Brawler is used with Dual Wield, if both Weapon and Shield slot are empty and the Dual Wield ability is in use.
Adjustment: +4 Power per tier above 1.
Bare: When Brawler is active, change the Monk's Strength to Medium with a Delay and Floor of 40 and 20, respectively, instead of 50 and 20 and removes all properties attached to the Strength. Additionally, Brawler functions with Dual Wield rather than Double Hand despite having Medium Strength instead Light.
Remodeling: Functions exactly as it does with 'Equipment', see above.
Powerchain

Type: Support
When the Monk strikes targets with maximum HP with a damaging action, the Monk inflicts +25% damage with that action. Targets that suffer damage that has this situational modifier applied are delayed by 5D as an additional Delay effect - this effect cannot miss. (Powerchain boosts damage for all hits in a Multi-Hit action, even if the first reduces the target below max HP. Apply the delay effect only once to each target per action.)
