Taoist Monk

Taoist Monk Index Advent The Realm of Essence Taoist monks of Essence-based Monks are Semi spell users who combine the Realm of Essence with the Realm of Arms. Their base spells deal with personal movement, the control of their own body, and the natural world while their arms capabilities are concentrated in unarmored, unarmed combat. A Taoist monk is reclusive and disdains much of the comforts of civilization, seeking to gain enlightenment through the observation of the natural world. A Taoist monk will tend to specialize in unarmed combat styles that mimic the attacks of animals.
