College of Monastic Studies (Monk)
		by John Forrester

This college is concerned with the enhancement and adjustment
of the physical traits and capabilities of the adept. Adepts
of this college destain the use of all 'artificial' aids and
will only use them until they can do without them. They will
only wear clothing to blend in with the societies they frequent
and prefer not to wear footwear if they can avoid it. They cannot
abide armor and will only wear leather at most. They will use
melee weapons only until their unarmed combat skills (including
magical bonuses) exceed those of the weapon they choose to use.

.1 Adepts of the College of Monastic Studies can practice their
arts with the follwing restriction:
   Whilst in any armor other than cloth they are unable to perform
any of their arts.

.2 The following modifiers apply to the base chance of any talent,
spell or ritual of this college:
	For every point the adepts
	willpower is above 15			+1

	For every point the adepts
	willpower is below 15			-2

	For every point above 15 of the
	average of PS, MD, AG, EN		+1

   Adepts of this college are able to extend their range of vision
into other light spectrums. Thus allowing them to see in the dark
as an Elves. This ability increases with rank. At rank 0 no benefit
is applied but at rank 10 full elfin sight is granted. Above rank
10 adept receives +1 to perception for each rank above 10. The
experience multiple is 200.

   This talent works in every respect as the College of the Mind
talent of the same name.

and trunk. This facilitates escaping from bonds and small places.
This is not a magical talent and is not affected by the presence of
