Background Story:
Anheim's past is unknown to him under age of 8.
He remembers being raised in a Monastery where he learned basics of meditation, lucid dreaming, arcane magics, unarmed & armed combat.
He served there as a grave Guard.
He was called 'Black Cloak', perhaps for Inspiration.
Later he met Chea Allin and they are more than friends, she gave him few arcane lessons to practice.
In Narfell he was enlisted as a Legion Recruit.
He fought for a while with random weapons & common style, then meditated, cast all that hinders away & started training anew.
Patiently, calmly training ... winning battles before they come.

... why monks in d&d are so good against many weaker foes?
i think they're outnumbered.
.. harder to get combat xp too. / CR - challenge rating rules make 0 xp for killing 'too weak' foes, practically no xp for soloing / . in narfell CRs are quite harsh, and other house rules make it even harsher.
... teamwork helps, but who trusts buddhist monks? items are expensive, and i think it's not the way to rely on equipment too much - when one plays monk role.
... Anheim my martial artist character is yogin, not monk - so he has more equipment.
... in narfell best source of xp/coin/items are DM events. Not so often DMs are on offering events, not so easy to participate in events. Few or more hours by computer without breaks is harsh, beside in-game challenges. Bio breaks, phone calls, guests at doors, post office men, apartment block servicing etc...
... i need to play less.
