Monks devote their energies to the pursuit of physical perfection, shaping their very bodies into deadly machines. Monks are a melee class with the ability to wear leather armor, wield blunt weapons, and use unarmed combat styles.<ref name=dbstr>EverQuest game file "dbstr_us.txt"</ref>
Monks forego heavy armor and most weapons in order to hone themselves into masters of combat, using their fists and a stout staff to make their mark upon Norrath. Monks learn many special attacks to enhance their damage dealing abilities, including the dragon punch and the legendary flying kick.<ref name=dbstr/>
In their martial studies monks also learn other useful skills, including the ability to move silently and fall safely from great heights. Experienced monks also learn to feign death, slowing their body's functions enough to fool most observers into believing them dead -- this trick often allows the monk to escape dangerous situations as monsters wander off, thinking the monk defeated.<ref name=dbstr/>
Monks are a specialist class, focusing on physical combat to the exclusion of all else. Monks provide a powerful ally in a group, though it's not unusual to see a monk adventuring alone. The monk is a good choice for players who enjoy a strong offensive role in combat and leading groups in their dungeon adventures.<ref name=dbstr/>
Monks are excellent at "pulling", getting a single mob from a group of several.

:''Main article: [[Armor Class]]''
The following is from [https://forums.station.sony.com/eq/index.php?threads/ac-vs-acv2.210028/#post-3078126 a post by Dzarn, EQ Developer].  It supersedes any weight information in the chart above.
Based on your level you have a hard cap on the amount of weight you can carry and you have a soft cap on the weight you can carry.
Level 1: HardCap 30: Softcap 14
Level 15: HardCap 32: SoftCap 15
Level 30: HardCap 34: SoftCap 16
Level 45: HardCap 36: SoftCap 17
Level 51: HardCap 38: SoftCap 18
Level 55: HardCap 40: SoftCap 20
Level 60: HardCap 45: SoftCap 24
Level 62: HardCap 47: SoftCap 24
Level 64: HardCap 50: SoftCap 24
Level 65: HardCap 53: SoftCap 26
Level 70: HardCap 53: SoftCap 28
Level 75: HardCap 53: SoftCap 30
Level 80: HardCap 54: SoftCap 31
Level 85: HardCap 55: SoftCap 32
Level 90: HardCap 56: SoftCap 33
Level 95: HardCap 57: SoftCap 34
Level 100: HardCap 58: SoftCap 35
Staying under the hard cap allows you to receive an AC bonus that gets increasingly worse if you are over your soft cap. Going over your hard cap will cause you to incur an AC penalty however. The way this is calculated is as follows:
If your total weight is less than your (Hard Cap - 1) then your bonus starts out as (your level + 5). If your total weight is greater than your soft cap, then a 'Reduction' is applied, this reduction is a float so decimals will come into play. Your reduction is equal to your current weight minus your soft cap multiplied by 6.66667, this reduction is capped at 100.0 then your reduction is set equal to 100 minus reduction divided by 100. Your bonus is then multiplied by this reduction value and if it is less than 0 it is set equal to 0. As an equation:
'''ACBonus = PlayerLevel + 5'''
'''If Weight > SoftCap:'''
'''Reduction = (Weight - SoftCap) * 6.66667'''
'''If Reduction > 100.0: = 100.0'''
'''Reduction = (100 - Reduction) / 100'''
'''ACBonus = ACBonus*Reduction'''
'''If ACBonus < 0: = 0'''
After that occurs the AC bonus is multiplied by 4 and divided by 3, because 'EQ Math'. As an equation:
'''ACBonus = (4 * ACBonus) / 3'''
Now if the previous case was not true and it turns out that your total weight is greater than your (Hard Cap +1) then you will incur an AC penalty that can be as bad as (your level + 5). The 'Penalty Multiplier' is equal to your total weight minus 10 less than your hard cap then divided by 100.0, if this 'Penalty Multiplier' is greater than 1.00 then it is set to 1.00. Your penalty is multiplied by 4 then divided by 3 then multiplied by this 'Penalty Multiplier'. In equation form:
'''Penalty = PlayerLevel +5'''
'''Multiplier = (Weight - (HardCap-10.0))/100.0'''
'''If Multiplier > 1.0: = 1.0'''
'''Penalty = (4 * Penalty) / 3'''
'''Penalty = Multiplier * Penalty'''
At the end of all of that, either your penalty or your bonus is added to your 'Class AC Bonus' for monks.

'''Kicking'''
It is recommended that monks use Kick until reaching level 5, when Round Kick becomes available.  At level 30, monks should then use Flying Kick instead of Round Kick.  The later skills should do more damage. However, AAs may provide bonuses depending on which kick you use, so you may wish to use different kicks depending upon the situation.
'''Autoskill'''
* [https://forums.daybreakgames.com/eq/index.php?threads/monk-stunning-kick.270720/ Daybreak forum thread on monk skills]
Typing ''/autoskill'' into your chat window allows you to toggle combat skills to automatically activate while attacking.  Usage: /autoskill name -- Usable skill names: Dragon Punch (Human only), Tail Rake (Iksar only), Eagle Strike, Flying Kick, Kick, Round Kick, or Tiger Claw.
Monks may use two autoskill choices at the same time, one from each of the following options:
* Strike special (pink above): Dragon Punch, Eagle Strike, Tail Rake, or Tiger Claw
* Kick special (blue above): Kick, Round Kick, or Flying Kick
== Lower Aggro button ==
Here is a suggested button that monks can make to lower their [[aggro]] during a fight.  This button will, when pressed: Feign Death, Stand up, turn on attack.  This usually (but not always) lowers your aggro.
