Tsunami - Help (Shaolin)

Shaolin (cleric hero subclass) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Shaolin monks live a simple life, which is governed by the quest for enlightenment. They seek this enlightenment through training and exploration. They crave not the material things that drive the less enlightened. Shaolin monks are monks who have achived hero status within the monastery, and have traveled the vast lands of Tsunami. They must also complete a difficult quest. Upon joining the order of the Shaolin the monk's level will be reset to 1 and they will lose all of their previous monk abilities. Shaolin Monk's training takes many years, and therefore they will gain power much slower then other subclasses, however a highly trained Shaolin possesses considerable power. The long road has considerable gains for those who can walk the path of enlightenment. The Shaolin quest for simplicity means that they frown upon the use of weapons, they will not even use the walking stick which is granted to the less enlightend monks of Tsunami. The only armour a monk will ever wear is that given by the Shaolin Master, Tetsuo Umazaka. Tetsuo will reward a monk with equipment based on their heroic tasks. These tasks are known to others in the world of tsunami as quests. The rewards and types of equipment a monk can wear are based on the monks total quest points. A Shaolin also trains their unarmed combat through combat and not through experience points. Shaolin's unarmed combat consists of a combination of punch, kick, throw, dodge, and block combat tactics. A Shaolin who successfully executes a tactic gains practice points, when the Shaolin has obtained enough practice points they will automatically advance their level in that tactic. A Shaolin can see their current rating using <monkskills>. A Shaolin must be patient as training can take years, very few Shaolin will ever max all tactics. A Shaolin that reaches such enlightenment will possess incredible powers. See <help shaolin practice> for additional information. Experienced monks will gain additional tactic points upon joining the order, they will also gain additional tactic points based on how worldly they are as a monk. See <help monk> and <help monk stick>. This means basically means that if you are a higher level hero monk, with more areas explored you will start with a higher value in each of the available tactics. As it is dificult to focus on both tactic training and experience, the Shaolin will gain experience based on the level of their tactics. The higher they have trained all their tactics the more experience they gain per kill. A Shaolin can expect considerably less experience when starting the quest enlightment. The combination of tactics is controlled by the Shaolin's stance, see <help skill stance> and <help stance name> for additional information on each stance. A Shaolin is limited in what they can purchase, they are not permitted to use heal shops, but must rather fish for food. They are also not able to use pubs but they can make wine at hero levels. Drinking wine will put the Shaolin into the drunken fighting stance. See <help stance drunken> for additional information. A Shaolin is also not permitted to own property and thus can not own a shop. Any monk joining the order who owns a shop will lose that shop upon joining. A Shaolin does not crave the glory of war, and thus they will not participate in twars and boot wars. A Shaolin does not desire the wordly possessions that lead the less enlightened down the path of player killing. The Shaolin will never initiate an attack against another player. They seek no help, and none is given to them, for they are the elite of the monks. Lastly, Shaolin monks walk the lonely road, and thus they are not allowed to join parties. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Shaolin have the following skills: stance aura toughness equipment attacking fish mandala awareness resistance combat flowing wind iron limbs staff ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Shaolin gain the following skills at the indicated level: 6: dragon punch 9: palm 9: spirit weapons 15: cyclone kick 15: true vision 19: falling star 19+1: wine making 9+1: kata ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Shaolin stats: Strength : 100 Dexterity : 140 Intelligence : 80 Constitution : 80 -----------------------------------------------------------------------
