Monk (Final Fantasy III)

The Monk is a job class in Final Fantasy III, both the NES original, and the Nintendo DS remake. It is gained from the Wind Crystal.

Appearance


In the NES original, the monk wore a blue head-band, and blue robes.

In the Nintendo DS version, they still wear blue robes, but the head-band is now black.

NES version

 * Special Ability - None

The initial Monk has no special ability. Instead, he gets a boost from just physically attacking with no weapon equipped.

DS version

 * Special Ability - Retaliate

When Retaliate is chosen, the Monk will counterattack if it is hit until their next turn.

Equipment
The monk doesn't really get equipment. Instead, you are left to keep him bare-handed, with only the lightest of armor available.
