Abilities and Powers

First-rate Monks are warriors capable of making their fists as hard as steel. They had the advantage against magic casters or thieves, but the reverse was true against Paladins.

However, since monks were a class focused on fighting individuals in close-combat, they had very few area-effect attacks. They possess powers that enhanced their overall body for offensive and defensive uses. Some Monks like Unkei can be Magic Casters too.

Monk are said to be able to use their legs to perform kicking techniques.

Active

• Iron Skin (アイアン・スキン): That skill could shroud the body in ki before any attack could touch it, making it as tough as steel. The more skilled one was, the harder it would become.
• Iron Natural Weapon (アイアン・ナチュラル・ウェポン): Using their Ki, the user is able to harden certain body parts— such as claws and fangs to make them as strong as metal. With the proper training, one can use this attack to pierce even Adamantite.
• Resistance Massive (抵抗する屈強な肉体 (レジスタンス・マッシブ) ): A skill of monks, granting the ability to reduce magical damage by dispersing the Ki from one's body in an instant.
• Healing: Using Ki to heal a target. However, it cannot cure diseases and poison.

Trivia

• According to Brain Unglaus, Monks like Sebas are usually neither armed with weapons nor equipped with armors.
