Monk Level Check DC17:

Powerful monks learn to heal their bodies through deep meditation, controlling their own heartbeat, bloodflow, breathing, and immune response. Once a monk has learned this skill, their mastery over it grows gradually more effective as they continue to hone their other techniques.

House Rule: Class level checks as a Knowledge check

If you have at least one level in a particular class, you can roll a class level check (d20+ your level in that class) like a Knowledge skill to see what you remember about anything that class focuses on, that class’s features and bonus feats, and any weapons or armor that class is proficient with.

On this blog, posts with such level checks are tagged “druid level check”, “monk level check”, etc.
