CLASS FEATURES
Martial Arts Your practice of martial arts gives you mastery of combat styles that use your Unarmed Strike and Monk weapons, which are the following:
  • Simple Melee weapons
  • Martial Melee weapons that have the Light property

You gain the following benefits while you are unarmed or wielding only Monk weapons and you aren't wearing armor or wielding a Shield.

  • Bonus Unarmed Strike. You can make an Unarmed Strike as a Bonus Action.
  • Martial Arts Die. You can roll 1d6 in place of the normal damage of your Unarmed Strike or Monk weapons. This die changes as you gain Monk levels, as shown in the Martial Arts column of the Monk Features table.
  • Dexterous Attacks. You can use your Dexterity modifier instead of your Strength modifier for the attack and damage rolls of your Unarmed Strikes and Monk weapons. In addition, when you use the Grapple or Shove option of your Unarmed Strike, you can use your Dexterity modifier instead of your Strength modifier to determine the save DC.
Unarmored Defense While you aren't wearing armor or wielding a Shield, your base Armor Class equals 10 plus your Dexterity and Wisdom modifiers.

Background

At a very young age, my parents dropped me of at the "The Quiet Haven" monestary in the Lower City of Baldur's gate, in the hope that I would find some inner rest through meditation and training. I did learn a lot via training but inner rest wasn't one of it. Throughout my childhood when training and chores were done I would roam the streets of Baldur's Gate, mapping out the hidden passages for quick getaways.

From my cell in the monestary I overlooked the sidewall of the orphanage next door. Here the monks of our order would deliver food on a daily basis. One night a tiefling caught my attention as she was sneaking through the back-alley between our buildings. I was intrigued and wanted to get to now her so one night I whispered from my window and we met up. From then one we would explore the shadowy areas of Baldur's Gate together.

Then, one day, Ashira as the Tiefling turned out to be named, learned about a carnival in town. As this was something new and exiting to investigate I didn't hesitate to go there with her. As we wanted to spent our coin at the carnival and not to get in, we decided to sneak inside. What a wonderful world this was. All kinds of colorful attractions and weird food and drinks and sounds and smells; It was awesome!

When the new day dawned on the carnival it was time for us to head back home. Unfortunately the orphanage caretaker spotted us as Ashira tried to sneak in via the back-entrance. She told a lie hoping to avoid punishment, but somehow I was unable to back her up on this one and blurted out what we had been up to. This infuriated Ashira causing her to end our friendship. I never saw her smile again since.

As I lost my best friend and caused her so much sorrow somehow, I decided to get away from Baldur's Gate. Hoping to forget about this. I went to the harbor looking for a job on one of the ships moarned there. The captain of the "The Prosperous Tide" offered me a job as deckhand. It turned out my knot-tying abilities were completely absent somehow, but luckily I could make up for that with with my other skills. I was always the first to reach the crows nest being on the lookout for safe passage through the treacherous waters of Faerûn. My navigation and mapping skills also helped out quite a lot.

One day a travelling circus made use of our services as we took them along from one harbor to another. One of the performers was a fairy. Interested in another Feywild offspring I got acquainted with him. He was named Zephyr and known for his bad taste in garb. Although that did fit his occupation in the circus. During the trip I learned that he once upon a time had also lost something while sneaking into the Witchlight Carnival.

After numerous years out at sea and longing for my old friendship with Ashira, I decide to leave the sailor trade in hopes of rekindling our friendship. Back in Baldurs Gate it turned out the feeling was mutual. There and then we decided to start a search for the carnival in the hopes of finding back what we had lost.
