Many Computer Role-playing Game s, including '' EverQuest '' and the '' Final Fantasy '' series (see below), include warrior classes similar to the ''Dungeons & Dragons'' Monk. The Monk class has also found its way into '' NetHack '', which borrows elements for the class from ''Dungeons & Dragons''. Conversely, in Guild Wars released in 2005 , the Monk is similar to the Cleric class of other popular games, using spiritual powers to heal and purge disease. IN ''DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS'' The Monk is a Character Class in the '' Dungeons & Dragons '' Role-playing Game which is typically portrayed as a master of Martial Art s. It is loosely based on the Stereotype of Shaolin Buddhist warrior Monk s. The '' Dungeons & Dragons '' monk specializes in unarmed combat. IN THE ''FINAL FANTASY'' SERIES In '' and '' Final Fantasy III '' an upgraded, more powerful form of the class appears, named Karate Master (からてか). IN ''EVERQUEST'' The Monk is a unique class which can be chosen only by either the Human or lizardman Iksar races. He or she is an expert in hand combat, and can fight with or without weapons, pummelling foes with fists or staves, and able to use only leather Armor and lighter. The Monk's most noteworthy skill is the ability to Feign Death . This gives the Monk the ability to drop to the ground and cause enemies to forget about his presence, or in MMORPG terms, lose aggro. This technique is useful for pulling, or bringing monsters to a party of player characters to be killed. The Monk class also has the capability to mend Wounds , which gives a small boost to his or her Hit Point s, making him the primary puller and a competent off-tank. |
