== AC Bonus ==
 
−
A monk has a sixth sense that lets her avoid even unanticipated attacks. When unarmored, the monk adds her [[Wisdom]] bonus (if any) to her [[Armor Class | AC]]. In addition, she gains a +1 bonus to AC at 5th level. This bonus increases by 1 for every five monk levels thereafter (+2 at 10th, +3 at 15th, and +4 at 20th level). She loses these bonuses when she is immobilized or helpless, when she wears any armor, or when she carries a shield.

== Flurry of Blows ==
 
−
When unarmored, a monk may strike with a flurry of blows at the expense of accuracy. When doing so, she may make one extra attack in a round at her highest base attack bonus, but this attack takes a -2 penalty, as does each other attack made that round. When a monk reaches 5th level, the penalty lessens to -1, and at 9th level it disappears. When using flurry of blows, a monk may attack only with unarmed strikes or with a kama, a quarterstaff or shuriken.

−
The Flurry of Blows mode can be activated as long as the weapon in your main hand is one of the monk weapons listed above, or unarmed strike. It can be activated even when the character is wearing armor, or carries a shield. However, wearing armor/shield negates the extra attacks, although the attack penalty still applies.

Monks move more quickly than other classes. At level 3, they move +10ft. faster than normal. This bonus increases further for +20 at 6th, +30 at 9th, +40 at 12th, +45 at 15th, and +50 at level 18. This ability does not work while wearing armor.

Starting at 15th level, a monk can set up fatal vibrations within the body of another creature once per day.
