Swords-Wizardry-Complete-revised

Alertness: Monks are not easily attacked by surprise. A party containing
a Monk is unlikely to be surprised, with only a 1 in 6 chance..
Deflect Missiles: The Monk can deflect arrows and magic missile
spells with a successful saving throw.
Slow Falling: At fifth level, Monks can fall up to 20 ft with no damage
if they can touch a wall. This distance increases to 40 feet at eighth level
and any distance at eleventh level.
Saving Throw Bonus: Monks gain a +2 bonus against paralysis and
poisons.
Speak with Animals (4th): The Monk can speak with normal
animals, in a manner similar to the spell of the same name.
Mastery of Silence (5th): The Monk can enter a state of perfect
catatonia, stopping his or her own heart to simulate death. The character
can maintain this state for 1d6 x 10 minutes x monk’s level.
Mastery of Mind (6th): The Monk’s thoughts become so serene and
placid that any attempt at mind reading has a 90% chance of failure.
The failure chance increases by 1% per monk’s level above sixth, rising
to 100% at level 16, when the Monk’s mind is completely at one with
the surrounding environment.
Creating a character
Mastery of Body (7th): The Monk can heal himself by 1d6+1 hit
points once per day. Each level above seventh adds an additional hit
point to the healing.
Mastery of Self (8th): The Monk is not subject to mental control of
any kind, including charm spells and hypnosis. The only exceptions are
the Geas and Quest spells.
Oneness with Self (10th): The Monk is not subject to Geas or Quest
spells.
Establish Monastery (11th): At eleventh level, a Monk may establish
an isolated monastery for the purposes of peaceful contemplation, and
for teaching disciples and students.
Harmonic Touch (13th): The Monk can touch any creature of equal
or lesser hit dice, and create an attunement by which the creature will
die instantly when the Monk gives a mental command for its heart
to stop. (The creature must have a heart or other organ that can be
stopped.) The creature’s bodily vibrations remain attuned to the Monk
for a period of one day per level of the Monk, and if the Monk does not
mentally command the creature to die within this period of time, the
death will not occur.
