Title: Another Monk playbook
Post by: Peter J on August 22, 2013, 12:41:58 AM

It seems there's significant demand for a Monk character class in DW, so here's my take on it.

I wanted to do something different for the monk rather than just make him a guy who fights unarmed. Monks aren't fighters. Battle isn't a means to an end for the monk. It's part of his spiritual journey. The monk I envisioned is on a quest for both physical and mental perfection.

So, here we go. Feedback is of course welcomed.

Hey! It looks really good! I especially like some of the vows and bonuses. It might be difficult to play in certain games, especially the vow of silence, haha. Looks good dude!

Thanks for the views! I made a few minor revisions and also formatted it to be more the style of a character sheet.
