Monk Subclass
You realized that it is not just with your fists that you solve things, but also with a thought of peace and harmony, with yourself and with others. So this is why your way is shared with the divine martial art and the thought of spiritual purity. You denied all of your mortal and filthy nature, and first began to change your thoughts and actions, thus also learning a martial art focused on the divine and the enlightenment of your being. " You have no enemies "
