Eberron Monk

Wizards harness mystical power through the study of arcane science. A cleric is a vessel that entreats for the aid of divine forces. Those who study the fighter’s disciplines harden their bodies and minds through purposeful repetition. The monk walks a step in each of these shoes. Beginning with a foundation of mental and physical discipline, a monk channels energy to force an impossible action to become possible, from moving with superhuman speed to striking with fists of flame. The sorcerers persuade the ambient energies all around them to do their bidding, while the monk focuses power within them and becomes a conduit with the strictest discipline. Morgrave Miscellany, page 44, gives examples of what playing a Monk in Eberron might look like.

In addition to the subclass options presented on dndbeyond, the following Monastic Traditions are also available:

Way of the Argent Fist

The Argent Fist uses ki energy to channel radiant power, healing the injured and blasting unclean creatures. This tradition was first mastered by followers of the Silver Flame, and the the Silver Forge has a number of fortress monasteries spread across Thrane. However, an Argent Fist could also be a champion of Dol Arrah, a Ghaash’kala orc, or even a warforged built to battle the undead.

Way of the Synod

Monks who choose the Way of the Synod are committed to the application and execution of the laws that guide their land and society. Those who study the foundational legal texts are righteous adepts of order who serve a greater calling. Monks of this path are revered as legal scholars and philosophical thinkers who have equal levels of mental and physical discipline. Governments will defer to the wisdom of a Synod as they implement or change their laws; Synods also help the broader church of the Sovereign Host to discipline lawbreakers and heretics.
