Monk



Monks indisputably possess the strongest ability for healing other characters. Divine Favor adds a healing buff to all monk spells, and many of the skills in this branch can be used to improve a monk's overall effectiveness. Healing Prayers are generally used for recovering from health loss, and many are unable to be used on the monk casting them. Protection Prayers is the attribute of choice for preventing damage from happening. Smiting Prayers allow Monks to do deal damage to enemies, especially the undead. The patron goddess of monks is Dwayna, with the exception of smite monks who are devoted to Balthazar.

Primary Monk armor provides little protection, +10 Energy and +2 Energy Recovery, like most spell caster armor. Primary Monks usually have 30 base Energy and 4 Energy regeneration.

The monk is widely considered the heart of a party, so it is very common for monks to be targeted by enemies first.

The Monk's primary attribute is Divine Favor.
