[Skills help] awareness

Automatic

So long as the monk is aware of the combatants in the field the monk
receives a bonus to armor class much like an armor spell.  This bonus
grows as the monk gets stronger, but if the monk should ever become
unable to see the bonus is negated.  This includes blindness, dirt kicking
and areas that are too dark for the monk to see in.  It is also
disabled while grappling.

[Skills help] defense (lack of a better name)

Automatic

The monk is trained to block incoming blows with their arms or legs or
almost any part of their body.  This affect is limited to melee combat
only.  The deflection of projectiles with this method is impossible.

[Skills help] takedown

Syntax: takedown <victim>

Any monk so trained can drop their enemy to the ground using any
method available to them.  This puts an enemy into the {prone} position
where they are vulnerable to being grappled or the monk can use any
number of techniques on them.  This effect without grappling is only like a
 normal trip, and the opponent can recover after so long.  Of course, the
chance of failure is always there.  A monk can only takedown an
opponent that is within melee range.

[Skills help] roundhouse kick

Syntax: roundhouse <victim>

For fanboys and fangirls everywhere, here is a more powerful kicking
skill.  A well placed roundhouse kick can cause serious damage to an
opponent, moreso than a normal kick.  These kicks have been known to
hurt even through the heaviest of armors

[Skills help] grapple

Syntax: grapple <victim>

After successfully taking an opponent to the ground a monk can choose to
grapple with an opponent.  Once grappling an opponent their ability to
attack is restricted and their movement is quickly drained.  In this
position the monk gains the options to do the most damage to an
opponent but is restricted in doing only those things to that opponent. 
Both the monk and victim lose the ability to dodge attacks.  While a
monk is grappling an opponent, he must focus on that opponent
and therefore does not receive the bonuses he normally does with
awareness.

[Skills help] punching technique (really lack of a better name)

Automatic

This skill allows monks three unarmed punches.

[Skills help] lock

Syntax: lock <victim>

When successfully grappling an opponent the monk may put the opponent
 in a submission move.  This will slowly drain the victim's PE the longer
the monk holds it.

[Skills help] escape

Syntax: escape

A trained monk can use this ability to escape a grapple if he is placed
within one.  As it is disadvantageous to be placed in a grapple this is the
option of most monks.  This skill can be used to escape another monk's
grapple or to release your own on a victim.

[Skills help] fists of fury

Automatic

This skill would allow four unarmed attacks, the pinnacle of unarmed
fighting.

[Skills help] break

Syntax: break right leg
        break left leg
        break right arm
        break left arm

After having successfully grappled an opponent, the monk may elect to
break a specific limb of the victim.  Either the right leg, left leg, right arm
or left arm.  This will cause the limb to become mangled and useless.

[Skills help] eye gouging

Syntax: gouge <victim>

A monk must be unarmed and the victim must be within reaching distance
 of the monk for this skill to work.  Once successful the skill impedes the
vision of the victim for a certain amount of time.  It is not required to
grapple an opponent to use this skill, however it is only useful in close
quarters.

[Skills help] choke

Syntax: choke <victim>

One of the deadliest submission moves at the monks disposal.  If a choke
 is applied the victim will sustain massive damage until the choke is
released.

[Skills help] bad dubbing

Automatic

All monks suffer from terrible dubbing and their lips move with no sound
coming out, and often times their mouth movements do not match what
they are saying
