Some of which practice methods of mental, physical, and spiritual perfection. Since life can get hazardous at times, this training includes fighting skills. These are the closest I have to the D&D® Monk.Dragon Earth: Here the tradition is more widespread. And not only among Christians, Buddhists, and Hindus. A number of polytheistic faiths have taken up the practice, and even Jews, Branites, and Muslims hold extended "retreats". Most every religion that has some form of cloistered and/or dedicated ecclestiastic tradition has some group that practices some form of mental, physical, and spiritual perfecting. Often including some type of martial art.However, I am starting to work on adapting a point based class variant I picked up off the web to a template system ala GURPS. In this scheme of things a character would have a minimum of two templates, racial and occupational. The standard D&D® template becoming what I'm calling a conditional template. So you would have, for example, a Savage (conditional) Kobold (racial) Druid (occupational) character. But that's for postings in House Rules.</blockquote>
