-The monk is an enlightened warrior, able to transcend many of the bodily limits that hamper most others. They are typically from one order or another and have an affinity for the strict procedures that such an order imparts on them.
+The monk is an enlightened warrior, able to transcend many of the bodily limits that hamper most mortals. They typically belong to an order or a monastery and have an affinity for the strict procedures that this imparts on them. Most monks can be of all resonances, but the solidity of order is their driving force: perfect body, perfect mind and perfect soul resounding together with the same harmonious melody.
-They despise most traditional armor, finding that it gets in the way of their ability to perfect their inner self. Which is something that they dedicate their lives to. Most have an amazing ability to manipulate their own energies and that of others, which they refer to simply as "Ki", in profound ways, especially as they grow wiser.
-Some monks are known to use small weapons, almost as if they were an extension of themselves. Others prefer the feel of battle and thus limit themselves to using their bare hands. All monks are experts at using their body as a weapon. Some are very quick, using their dexterity in combat to both hit and deal damage, others are very strong and benefit from a higher strength stat.

-**Unarmed monks use the following damage table:**\\
+|Unarmed monks use the following damage table:|
-|Levels  1-10|1d6 damage|
+|Levels 1 - 9 : 1d6  damage|
-|Levels 11-20|1d8 damage|
+|Levels 10-19 : 1d8  damage|
-|Levels 21-30|1d10 damage|
+|Levels 20-29 : 1d10 damage|

+|Levels 30-39 : 2d6  damage|
-|Levels 41-50|1d14 damage|
+|Levels 40-49 : 2d8  damage|
+|Level   50   : 2d10 damage|
-By default a monk uses strength for unarmed attacks (for both hit and damage), however, a monk may choose the weapon finesse feat in order to use dexterity instead.
+Unarmed monks have a base critical multiplier of 2, and receive an increased critical damage
+multiplier of their monk level divided by 10. A level 10 monk, for example, would have a critical
+damage multiplier of 3.
-Unarmed monks also receive a critical damage multiplier of their monk level divided by 10 + 1. A level 10 monk, for example, would have a critical damage multiplier of 2. This means that a level 10 monk would do an additional 2d6 damage on a critical hit.
+An unarmed monk also receives +1 to damage and hit, per six levels in their monk class. This is
+considered magical for purposes of bypassing monster weapon resistance and or special abilities.

+Starting at level 3 you may dedicate to a particular emphasis of Ki, in any church or temple, by using ''pick WAY''. The current known ways, and their allowed resonances, are:
+  *  [[The Way of The Fist]] (any resonance)
+  *  [[The Way of The Shadow]] (dark and twilight resonances)
+  *  [[The Way of The Elements]] (any resonance)

-  *  The Way of The Fist
-  *  The Way of The Shadow
-  *  The Way of The Elements
-Monk feats, abilities, and spells require ki. Most monks receive 1 ki point per level starting at level 2. Ki regenerates passively. Ki regeneration rate is 1-2 every 10-20 seconds. A higher wisdom score reduces this time but never below 5 seconds.
+Monk feats, abilities, and spells require ki. Most monks receive 1 ki point per level starting at level 2. Ki regenerates passively. Ki regeneration rate is 1-2 every 10-20 seconds. A higher wisdom score reduces this time but never below 6 seconds.
 The ''ki'' command is a command showing the abilities imparted to you by your dedication, your total and available ki, and how long until you passively regenerate more.
-Flurry of blows, which is a very unique monk feature allowing extra attacks, functions somewhat differently depending on the particular dedication of any given monk.
+In addition to their special abilities, monks can cast a small number of spells by expending ki points. To see which spells you can cast, see the help file for your chosen way. To cast your spells, use the ''cast'' command. A monk will need the perfect caster feat to avoid harming their allies and summoned creatures with area-affecting spells.
+The efficacy of monk abilities and spells use wisdom as their casting stat. Additionally, monks receive a bonus to their AC equal to their wisdom bonus.
