Monk

This page describes a part of Icesus that no longer exists.

Backgrounds were how a character was put together before kingdoms and stories replaced them. None of the choices described here can be made in the game today. The page is kept as a record of how Icesus used to work.

Current system: Character creation and Stories

The people known as monks have made a decision to dedicate their lives to self-exploration in a cloister. They live by very strict daily routine, that includes physical labour and meditation. The background has never been a limit when applying into the cloister, both poor and rich bow and make the same sacrifices. Living without excessive wealth and comfort is one of the main principles for monks.

The most visible effects on your character:

  o Better martial arts skill.
  o Better meditation skill.
  o Constitution gives a little more health.
  o Dexterity gives a little more endurance.
  o Gives less wealth.
  o Increased maximum wisdom.
