Western style monks
In Cerilia, monks follow the Western mediaeval concept of living in monasteries and taking holy vows.
- abbot: runs an abbey
- anchorite: a hermit, one who has gone into seclusion to contemplate
- brother: since our mythology doesn't much use family terms, I'd drop this one
- cenobite: from the Latin coenobium meaning convent, it refers to any person living in a religious community
- eremite: another hermit, this term implies a religious vow, not just extreme piety
- fakir: Khinasi example of a member of a religious order
- friar: often implies a mendicant
- monastic: one who lives in a monastery
- votary: one who has taken solemn religious vows
Initiate, postulant and novice are good for the students who hope to join.
Eastern style monks
There are no Cerilians with levels in the monk class, as the class is not part of the official BIRTHRIGHT setting. Players interested in playing Cerilian pugilists should consider the fighter class and feats such as improved unarmed attack, stunning attack, improved trip, and weapon focus, finesse and specialization (unarmed).
