Note: The character does not automatically get psionic defense modes. He must buy them as telepathic powers.  Conversely the character is treated as having no primary discipline so that the only restriction on getting powers is that he must have twice as many devotions as sciences.

Abilities
1) When the character hits on a natural "20" he stuns his opponent for 1d6 rounds.

2) When attacked by a normal missile attack the character may save vs. petrification to avoid being hit; note that this is counted as his attack for the round.

3) When the character is hit by a non-magical attack he may once per day per level take no damage from it on a successful save.  At 13th level this ability improves to the point where the character takes half damage even if he fails his saving throw.) 

4) When falling the character can escape damage as follows:
- At 5th level a monk can fall up to 20' safely if he is within 1' of a wall.
- At 10th level a monk can fall up to 30' safely if he is within 4' of a wall.
- At 17th level a monk can fall any distance safely if he is within 8' of a wall.

5) When the character reaches 12th level he may form a satellite monestary.  Heis given 2-5 first level monks to staff the monestary plus 1-2 additional for every level above that.  The character is also given 2-5 first level clerics (sohei) and 1 6th level cleric (sohei) commander who will help defend the monestary.

Restrictions
1) The character cannot wear armor or use a shield.  He is restricted to certain weapons.  The character may ride, but never own a horse.  The charactermay onlyhave up to 2 magic weapons and any three magic items useable by any class or by thieves or psionicists.  The character can only carry enough money to make his own way.  The rest must be donated.

2) The character does not get any hit or damage bonuses from strength nor does he get any hit or AC bonuses from dexterity.

3) The character cannot have any hirelings until 10th level.  At that point he may hire up to 2 henchmen + 1 per level after 10th up to his charisma limit.

4) At 12th level the character must face in combat one of the three Master's ofDragons in a one-on-one duel.  If he fails then he ends up back at the midpointof 11th level.  He must repeat this at every level after this point in order toadvance.  He must face repeated challenges.  The only exception is the Grandmaster of Flowers who is allowed to retire gracefully.

5) The character is unaffected by the Book of Exalted Deeds of the Book of VileDarkness.  The Manuals of Stealthy Pilfering and Pussiant Skill at Arms are incomprhensible to the character.  And the Librams of Silver Magic, Gainful Conjuration or Ineffiable Evil affect the character as any nonmage.
