The Monk
Playtest


D&D Insider brings you another exclusive playtest opportunity this month with a first look at the monk from Player's Handbook 3. One build from the upcoming release is presented here, featuring thirty levels of options. Check out the monk and send us your feedback at dndinsider@wizards.com.

From high in forbidding mountains to the alleys of a city's meanest district, the ascetic warriors known as monks practice their art. By focusing on their minds and bodies, honing both to near perfection, they master a psionic fighting art that allows them to deliver a punch with the force of a giant's club and to absorb attacks as well as a heavily armored knight. Monks tap into the psionic potential that rests within their bodies and minds, turning that energy further inward to fortify their bodies and sharpen their minds.
