Monk (job)

The Monk, sometimes referred to as a Black Belt, is a job class that appears in many of the Final Fantasy games. They are characterized as wearing karate gis, and for the most part, they are limited to equipping headbands and light tunics. They cannot use weapons except the Claw, which only appears in several games. However, in the original Final Fantasy, they can equip nunchucks as well. They have some of the highest HP and physical strength values in their games. Their abilities often include Kick, which damages all opponents, Mantra or Chakra, which restores HP and status to allies, and an ability which allows them to store energy for the next turn. They also are known for their ability to counter physical attacks.

Notable Monks include Yang Fang Leiden of Final Fantasy IV, Sabin Rene Figaro of Final Fantasy VI, Tifa Lockhart of Final Fantasy VII, Zell Dincht of Final Fantasy VIII, and Amarant Coral of Final Fantasy IX.

Final Fantasy XI
Monks are one of the six basic jobs available from the start of the game. They specialize in using multiple bare hand attacks (especially when using Hundred Fists) as well as countering. The only other type of weapon they are permitted to use are certain staves or clubs. They have the highest HP in Final Fantasy XI of any class on average, but wear mostly light armor.
