Monk (Final Fantasy V)

The Monk is a job in Final Fantasy V, which is given to you after the Wind Crystal shatters.

Appearance
The monk job class gives all the characters more unique clothes than other jobs, but they all have a far-eastern feel. Butz wears a headband, a green vest and some trousers. Lenna wears very traditional clothes, and even wears her hair in the an eastern fashion. Faris just wears a white Gi, while Galuf wears a red vest and black trousers. Krile wears something similar to Lenna's, but with a bow-tie in her hair.

Abilities

 * Job Command - Kick
 * Innate Abilities - Counter, Barefist
 * Equipment - None

The monk's job command causes it to launch a flying kick at all enemies, for some minor damage. Strangely enough, this is the only job command in the game that can't be learnt by levelling up the job, and thus can only be used if you are a monk. If the monk is attacked physically, Counter will cause the monk to attacks the attacking enemy back. Barefist is, of course, the monk's trademark ability, causing it to have high attack power when it doesn't have anything equipped.
