Magic Monk[edit]
<!-Introduction Leader->[edit]
Maybe you think monks don't quite fit the Dungeons and Dragons vibe.
- Or maybe you want to do monks a little more like magic users in order to simplify the system a bit.
- Or maybe magic monk fits your campaign better somehow.
- Or maybe you think the standard monk is over or under powered.
- Or maybe you really just love wizard mechanics.
- Or maybe you're just too lazy to figure out how the regular monk class works (like me).
Magic monk builds monks to use the same game mechanics as wizards.
