'''Inner Sanctuary''' is a [[Monk]] Tier 5 [[Monk skills|skill]] unlocked at [[clvl|character level]] 14. The Monk casts a rune on the ground that cannot be passed. 

When cast, this [[skill ]] creates a large rune on the ground where the Monk is standing, with a small, [[Slow Time]]-like bubble shield surrounding the character. It seems to be impermeable to the movement of [[melee]] attackers, however it does not protect against long-ranged melee attacks. (A [[Fallen Overseer]] has enough range to hit the character standing in the middle, while regular [[Fallen]] cannot.)

This skill [[File:Inner-sanctuary1.jpg|350px|thumb|Probably Inner Sanctuary.]]'''Inner Sanctuary''' was first shown at [[BlizzCon 2009]] as one of the originals when the [[Monk]] was unveiled. It wasn't needed in that demo, since the Monk was hugely powerful, but there may be more utility for it in the final game.
