Restrictions
A Monk's body and mind are one and adding layers of metal or leather only serve to hinder a Monk's ability to move and disrupt their concentration. As a result, all Monks forgo the wearing of armor.
Monks have a magical ineptitude. They cannot cast any spells and cannot use wands or scrolls.
