More Information
Dragon Disciples channel Draconic energy and their own Ki to perform mighty Spell-Like Abilities that can decimate their foes.
Through intense physical training and mental discipline, monks gain the ability to generate and control ki. They use this vital energy to project amazing beneficial effects.
In order to use their special abilities, monks must be in a state of physical and mental balance called being centered. To remain centered, a monk cannot wear armor and must fight unarmed or with special monk weapons like staffs and kamas.
