I know they are always suggested but..
They are a good idea.
People who have been playing for months/years might be getting bored.
A knew class would probably make alot of people happy and give you a fun and exciting project
So here gos my idea..

Class : Monk
Races : Halfling, Elf, Half-Elf, Human, Gnome.

ok the main idea for this its like a paladin in the bash/casting way.
But.. Instead of healing spells and stat boosters..
It has sweet combat skills like rangers. For example..

Crushing Blow: Level 5// Say deals 1.5x damage but hits slightly less. OR
Kick: Level 5// Uses your stam x 10 hp and dos stam times 1.5x dmg (uses all stam) like berserk/rapid fire but if you miss you are very angry.
Last example: (ill think of more depending on response)
Stunning Strike: Level 20// Makes an enemy/player's stam go down to zero. This would help while hunting but would also be good defense against pkers


They can have Medium Strength armors, There best weps are rares such as:
Tiger Claws: 10 bd// Level 8
Cheetah Claws: 15 bd// Level 20 ((+1 dex))
Dragon Claws: 22 bd// Level 30 ((+1 dex +1str))

They can use wepons but then cant use there skills making them a fighter but with less stam and less armor.

Also maybe a stealth skill when arch

Well feedback please.

Not going to happen until you can actually spell the word 'new'...

[jurian]

lol i'm not even gonna bother readin it. the post is too short for it to be a well thought out class and it's not gonna happen anyway

[ushka]

ouch you guys are harsh and the "knew" was a typo, you never know i may have fat fingers ;p

[Cule]

wonder why ...

[Ryuku]

So...what are hp gains according to con? Even with high dex, do they miss alot like rangers? Or hit alot like thieves? How much does thier str affect thier attack power?

[sayadin]

hmmm... monk... lol... yep i remember it.. i did the same thing and suggested there to be a class of monks into nightmist.

here is an ancient thread!! ha ha ha..

[dark pyro]

monks are know for there healing fighting and damage spells if we made a class it would basiclly be an over powered class like zerkers r or where haven't played in a while. but back to the topic monks are not ment to be strickly fighters that is y we have a fighters class. would use a pally more if it got at least on damage spell instead of heal and boosters. which what sould be done instead of more classes jsut improve on existing classes.

[jurian]

actually i think we should ahve a monk class.

they wouldn't use ewapons and stuff just hands and feet like them shaolin monks. they would eb a good attribution to the game just someone needs to work em out. and then kill jlh and pandi and put them in

[Cule]

How about .. ummm .. no?

actually monk heal slightly, and they are martial arts. the only weapon they could use is staffs and knucklers. they are extremely agile. so by not giving them armor, their skin could be use as armor, and they do have a few ablities, like a thunder punch. i forgot what it is called but pretty much it gets all of its ki energy and surpressed it all into their fist and when the monk hits you with it, you'll be stunned for a great amount of time but introducing this will make it powerful. It would be a great class. just don't give them armor, no healing, and the only weapons are knucklers (have to make those) and staffs. nothing else. it should be as powerful as the fighter or a lil less.

[2Pac]

Supported i like this idea(Plus it give me something new to train)

[green_mantis]

I like monks, maybe they should have an almost soothe-like skill.

Also, no armors or weapons. Natural armor bonuses.

Monk - 1. A man who retires from the ordinary temporal concerns of the world, and devotes himself to religion; one of a religious community of men inhabiting a monastery, and bound by vows to a life of chastity, obedience, and poverty.


Last time i checked a Monk was someone who has respect for every living creature so who the hell would they attack?

[jurian]

call it self defence. and last time i checked mages didn't exist so don't even think about going that way.

Last time I check Paladins shouldn't attack people, wind up in Nightmist, bam, death by pally.

umm... he told you... and the same for cleric... now if the paladin was even then it would be a blacksguard, and cleric can be evil too.. but i don't know what they are called... so yeah..

I think we should introduce a Fairy class, that mince around the game and lvl 1-10 throw a pouty sulk that does 5 bd, then 11-20 they can throw a hissy fit that does 15 bd, then 21-25 they can bish behind your back causing you 24 bd from 1 square over, then at 26-30 they can walk into your clan house and moan about the colour scheme causing all the clannies in-game to explode.

I haven't really thought it out, but hey..........

[Stigmata]

how did you find out that info.....i thought jlh said the fairy class was a secret!

[Julius]

Paladin's and Cleric's aren't Anti-pk, they will openly fight and war with members of oposite allignment, they do however go out of their way to aid good, that is why they are not meant to kill senslessly.

Monks, such as those of the Shou Lin Temple, study religion and consentrate on wholeness of body and mind, this is achieved through diffucult physical activity. Although its main use is for self unity, the style can be used to fight, defensively, but very efficiently, Shou Lin is the most deadly yet self purifying style you will ever find (and don't come saying how ninjitsu owns cuz you played ninja gaiden and those games..Shou Lin is real).

So a monk as a class would fit into 'realism' although nothing in the game is real, but a monk is very much a big class in fantasy role-playing. I like the idea of adding it, though this particular version needs work, ther have been quite a few people posting their own ideas about a monk, and so far I haven't seen one that seems to flow well.

[sayadin]

i used my info based on dungeons & dragons, but i just put everything into nightmist form, so it could be implemented, but it never got added because they feel as though there is enough classes on nightmist. (players thoughts)
