Form of the monkey enhances a swordmaster's defensive capabilities, though not to the same extent as Form of the Reed, granting a marked increase in the ability to parry and offhand parry while reducing their offense somewhat. While in this form, a swordmaster will be unable to attempt a fourth attack in a combat round, but their blows will apply a malus that will cause their opponent's every action to take longer and penalize the target's hitroll in a manner similar to vital strike.
