Monk enhancements (history)

As with other classes, the Monk receives some enhancements as a given ability of the class.

Your ultimate choices for the elective enhancements in the tables below will weigh on your decision for philosophy paths: Harmonious Balance, or Inevitable Dominion. You cannot specialize in both, nor it is wise to ignore choosing a path if you want to make your character anything more than a mere unarmed fighter.

Once you choose a path, specific enhancements are opened to you, while others are closed. As with all enhancements, should you decide to chance your path, you can see a Monk Trainer to reassign your enhancements.

Many of the enhancements are attacks that can be formed to create finishing moves. Others work much like actions that emulate a spell-like ability, such as removing blindness. (See Monk tactics on tactics in using finishing moves.)

Note that enhancements do not stack with other enhancements from the same series. Each element of a series has a prerequisite for receiving the upgraded variant of that enhancement.

Prestige Enhancements
A character can train only in one Monk Prestige path at a time. Each has both passive benefits and active benefits, which expends Ki to get the specialty. All requirements must be taken from Monk class enhancements.

Capstone
A character can train only in one Monk Capstone at a time.
