Monk Sage Abilities, Studies & Fields

Below can be found a list of the knowledge fields and studies available to the Monk Class. Starting at 1st level, the monk gains one field, and one study within that field. This choice is left entirely to the player.

There are four fields to choose from:

Way of the Heart: seeks to embrace the balance of Yin & Yang as a means to empower the body, gaining strength from the energy that surrounds the character. Monks of this way seek interconnectness and interdependence with the natural world.

Way of the Spirit: seeks to embrace the inward energy that is found in the mind — which, when released, has the capacity to drastically alter the fabric of reality. Thus focus, study and meditation are central to the pursuit of this field.

Way of the Stick: seeks to strengthen the body as a weapon of war, with the essence of the practitioner being committed to performance in combat, causing damage and acting as an arm for the character's masters — whomever they may be, either good or evil.

Way of the Stone: seeks to strengthen the body as an immovable, indestructable object, committing the practitioner's essence towards defense. Monks of this way are often guardians of that which must be defended at all costs.

Sage Studies

The studies within these fields are each described more thoroughly on their own pages — and in turn are a number of sage abilities that await possession by player characters and others. Following are a list of studies sorted by their field.
