+#####R=== Monks ===
+
+#####GDescription
+The Monk character class is very different from all other classes.
+Although they can use weapons and armour just like any other class,
+their training in martial arts makes them much more powerful with no
+armour nor weapons. To gain the resistances necessary for survival at
+higher levels a monk may need to wear some kind of armour, but if the
+armour worn is too heavy, it will severely disturb their martial arts
+maneuvers. As the monk gains in skill, new, powerful forms of attack
+become available. Their defensive capabilities (blocking and dodging)
+increase likewise, but if armour is being worn, this effect decreases.
+Fortunately, the amount of armour a monk can wear while still fighting
+efficiently can be increased by raising his/her Barehanded-combat skill.
+It is rumoured that the monastic training even makes monks faster than
+any other character class!
+
+Monks also have access to the schools of *****m_meta.txt*0[Meta], *****m_tempo.txt*0[Temporal] and *****m_mind.txt*0[Mind] magic.
