The '''Monk''' (Japanese: {{hl|修道士|Shūdōshi}} ''Monk'' or {{hl|修験者|Shugenja}} ''Syugenja'') is a [[:Category:Base classes|basic]] magical [[class]] which debuted in {{FE7}}. It originated in that game and {{title|The Sacred Stones}} as an offensive magical class which wields [[Light (magic)|light magic]], acting as an offensive counterpart to the healing-specific [[Priest]]/[[Cleric]], and is an exclusively male class.<ref>{{Cite|But...to be a monk, don’t you have to... be a... Well...a guy?|[[Serra]]|The Blazing Blade}}</ref> In {{title|Fates}}, it is instead a [[Hoshido]]-aligned healer class which uses [[rod]]s, the Hoshidan equivalent of staves. Monks are one of only two explicitly male-only Hoshido classes (the other being the Great Master), with its female counterpart being the [[Shrine Maiden]].
The '''Monk''' (Japanese: {{hl|修道士|Shūdōshi}} ''Monk'') is a [[:Category:Base classes|basic]] magical [[class]] which debuted in {{FE7}}. In ''The Blazing Blade'' and {{title|The Sacred Stones}}, Monk is an offensive magical class which wields [[light magic]], and is a male-exclusive class.<ref>{{Cite|But...to be a monk, don’t you have to... be a... Well...a guy?|[[Serra]]|The Blazing Blade}}</ref> In {{title|Three Houses}} and {{title|Warriors: Three Hopes}}, the Monk is an entry-level magic-user, able to wield both [[black magic|black]] and [[white magic]], and is not restricted by gender.


They later appear in {{title|Three Houses}} and can wield both offensive magic and healing magic.
Compared to other offensive magic classes, the Monk possesses lower [[magic (stat)|magic]], but higher [[skill (stat)|skill]] and [[speed]]; in conjunction with the typically lightweight and accurate [[light magic]], Monks have excellent [[accuracy]] and [[attack speed]].


Compared to its fellow offensive magic classes, the [[Mage]] and [[Shaman]], the Monk possesses lower raw [[Magic (stat)|magical power]], and compensates for it with superior [[skill (stat)|skill]] and [[speed]], which in combination with the typically lightweight and accurate light magic gives them excellent [[accuracy]] and [[Attack speed|follow-up attacking]] ability. As is common to magic classes, they possess low [[HP]] and [[defense]] and require protection for successful use, but like Priests/Clerics, conversely possess exceptional [[resistance]].
In ''The Blazing Blade'', Monks [[class change|promote]] to the [[Bishop]] class, gaining the use of [[staves]]. In ''The Sacred Stones'', Monks have the option to promote to Bishop or [[Sage]].
 
In the Game Boy Advance games, Monks promote to the [[Bishop]] class along with Priests/Clerics, gaining the use of [[Staff|staves]]. Additionally, ''The Sacred Stones'' gives Monks the option to promote to Bishop or [[Sage]]. In {{FE14}}, it promotes to [[Onmyoji]] or [[Great Master]].
