Monks study the art of using pressure points to alleviate pain but they can
also use them to cause pain.  A monk can hit a vital point of their target to
do 25d<level/10> + damroll points of damage.  This also has a chance of
stunning the target.  A failed punch will make the monk fall over and delay
them for 3 rounds.  A sleeping target will also take more damage from a vitals
punch.  The monk cannot hold a weapon to be able to use this skill.  Male
targets have a chance to be bashed or lose an attack depending on which type
of vitals attack is used.
