Monk

The following new rules apply to monks.

New Class Skill

The monk's new class skill (and its key ability) is Freefall (Dex).

Class Features

Weapon and Armor Proficiency: Monks with the Technical Proficiency feat they gain proficiency with all high-tech simple weapons and all high-tech light armor.

Technical Proficiency: Monks believe that technological mastery of the universe is a self-destructive illusion. Monks do not gain the Technical Proficiency feat for free at 1st level like characters of other classes do. They may choose this feat whenever they are eligible for a new feat, including 1st level, though they seldom do. They may also gain this feat for free when they spend at least one full level adapting to and learning the use of technology.

Evade Fire (Ex): At 4th level, a monk gains the ability to evade fire from all types of firearms. Once per round, when the monk would normally be hit by a shot or burst from a firearm, he may make a Reflex saving throw against a DC of 20 (if the weapon has a magical bonus to attack, the DC increases by that amount). If the monk succeeds, the attack misses. The monk must be aware of the attack and not flat-footed. Attempting to evade fire doesn’t count as an action. A monk can use this ability a number of times per day equal to his Wisdom modifier.
