Innate AbilitiesEdit

• Brawler

The Monk is one of the best classes to be if your bravery is high. The Monk's Chakra ability can heal others, as well as replenish MP. A Monk can become very powerful without much effort. By using Ramza's brave-raising skills, a player can allow the Monk to deal damage upwards of 999, with bravery at 90. It's also worth the time training Ninja to get Dual Wield with a Monk, making it a total weapon of mass destruction.
