Con simplified version
Notes about playing Master John. John is easily killed, and lacks magic. However he does not need magic against non-supernatural opponents.
He needs to use his stealth to avoid combat, but if forced he usually splits his attacks 2 to each opponent (4 total) usually getting a critical hit on one, and killing them that round. Sometimes his 12-24 damage defeats the opponents anyway.
- He runs as fast as horse, so stealth and speed can often have him get past opponents.
-Generally, in a group he finishes off human like opponents.
-Open hand damage does not work on large creatures, only human size or smaller.
-His small hit points (40) give him a glass jaw - he is able to defend well (-2 AC) but once hit he goes down fast.
-He moves at normal human walking speed (well slily faster 15) when moving silently.

As Master of Spring, John was the second-highest ranking monk of his
order. Although he had long since acquired the experience needed to
challenge the Grand Master of Flowers for the leadership of the
order, he refrained from doing so out of respect for his venerated master.
Instead, he resigned from the order, and another Master of Spring was
appointed to take his place. John took a vow of poverty and set out into
the world. John meditates at least four hours each day and practices his skills for
another four. Whenever he needs food or other items, he takes the most
menial jobs he can find, preferably involving hard physical labor. This
preserves his sense of connection with the world. He is 60 years old, but
looks 20 years younger. He is wiry, muscular, and very thin, and dresses
in simple rags, as befits an ascetic. He remains in Bloodstone for as
long as he is needed, but refuses money, titles, magical items, and
even a roof over his head.
