Whatever their discipline, monks are united in their ability to magically harness the energy that flows in their bodies. Whether channeled as a striking display of combat prowess or a subtler focus of defensive ability and speed, this energy infuses all that a monk does.

Monks make careful study of a magical energy that most monastic traditions call ki. This energy is an element of the magic that suffuses the multiverse—specifically, the element that flows through living bodies. Monks harness this power within themselves to create magical effects and exceed their bodies’ physical capabilities, and some of their special attacks can hinder the flow of ki in their opponents. Using this energy, monks channel uncanny speed and strength into their unarmed strikes. As they gain experience, their martial training and their mastery of ki gives them more power over their bodies and the bodies of their foes.

Some monks live entirely apart from the surrounding population, secluded from anything that might impede their spiritual progress. Others are sworn to isolation, emerging only to serve as spies or assassins at the command of their leader, a noble patron, or some other mortal or divine power.

The majority of monks don’t shun their neighbors, making frequent visits to nearby towns or villages and exchanging their service for food and other goods. As versatile warriors, monks often end up protecting their neighbors from monsters or tyrants.

For a monk, becoming an adventurer means leaving a structured, communal lifestyle to become a wanderer. This can be a harsh transition, and monks don’t undertake it lightly. Those who leave their cloisters take their work seriously, approaching their adventures as personal tests of their physical and spiritual growth. As a rule, monks care little for material wealth and are driven by a desire to accomplish a greater mission than merely slaying monsters and plundering their treasure.

Marching into battle with their fists, monks are honed warriors that make unarmed strikes that cripple and subdue their foes into submission.

{taken.

○ Purity of Body: You are unable to be charmed, slept, poisoned or diseased.

○ Tranquility: You can use your ki to bring peace to someone that's turned hostile towards you due to an action you or your companions have caused.

○ Shadow Step: When acting in darkness, you can teleport to a place you can see within 30 feet of you.

○ Radiant Sun Bolt: Your punches become infused with ki as you can send the force of your blow up to 30 feet in front of you.

{planned.

○ Deflect Missiles: You've mastered the art of catching projectiles in mid-air. If an arrow is flung in your direction, there's a chance you can grab a hold onto it before it hits you.

○ Monastic Tradition: You can almost always find a temple within a city that's devoted to an order you get along with. Spending time there, the other monks will ask you to help train aspiring acolytes and will offer free room and board to you while you stay.

○ Empty Body: When meditating, you can focus your ki to allow you to fade from existence and become invisible for 1 minute.

○ Mystery of Death: You can channel your ki to find out how a person has passed away. Strong focus will allow you to see the entirety of the scene in full, but afterwards, you will become drowsy and need to sit down for a rest.

○ Douse Flames: You have gained the ability to snuff out fires up to 10' in length if they were not created magically.

○ Observant: If you can see a someone's mouth while they are speaking a language you understand, you can interpret what they're saying by reading their lips.

{inventory.

• A pack of gum that magically adjusts its flavor to whatever the chewer would like it to be. Just be careful you don't accidentally think of something you don't like — each piece of gum can set a flavor profile only once. The flavor also lasts a little bit longer than your standard gums.
