Monk
Base Class: Monk

As a practitioner of this path you have accepted the truth taught by every Sifu and Sensei, that Ki is present in all things. However, taking this truth from conceptual understanding to practical applications has led you down an Asura's path. Like the black heart of the Infinite Sun that never sets on Orbos, you have created an infinite void within yourself and created a gateway that leads to it. You can open that gate and cause all before you to be drawn toward it. As you gain experience and power, victims subjected to the dread forces at the edge of that gate are transformed into deadly emissions of light and heat, or drawn into it bodily where the weak are doomed to fall into it forever.

Dark Star Maw

Beginning at 3rd level after choosing this Tradition your mouth can open to become a gate to an infinite well of darkness, like the black heart of the Infinite Sun. When you take the attack action on your turn you can replace one of the attacks you would make with a dread inhalation. This dread inhalation subjects everything within a 15 ft radius around you to a pull like gravity. All creatures in the area must succeed on a Strength save or be drawn 10 feet toward you, unattended small objects do not get a saving throw. Creatures and objects that end this movement within 5 feet of you experience powerful shearing forces and suffer Force damage equal to 2 rolls of your martial arts die. You can spend a point of ki to increase this radius to 30 feet and the forced movement to 25 feet, when you do so it affects medium and large objects as well.

Eat Anything

Also at 3rd level, as an action you can choose to consume any form of non magical matter, from dirt to coins to boot-leather, and it will provide sustenance. This ability confers no resistance or immunity to hazardous substances you may eat, so hot coals will burn you and you may become poisoned normally, etc. but provided you survive the meal they will provide sustenance similar to an equivalent amount of rations. When you consume something in this way you regain 1 point of Ki. You can use this feature to regain Ki in this way a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus and regain all such uses after a long rest.

Ki Quasar

At 6th level after choosing this Tradition, the rampant destructive forces of your Dark Star Maw can convert your foes flesh to devastating emissions of light. Once per turn, when a creature takes Force damage from your Dark Star Maw feature, you can spend 1 point of Ki to create a line of searing light 5 feet wide and 30 feet long that originates from your space. This line cannot include any space the triggering creature occupies. Other creatures in the line must succeed on a dexterity saving throw or suffer Radiant damage equal to 3 rolls of your martial arts die, a successful save reduces the damage by half.

Cosmic Consumption

At 11th level and thereafter, once per turn, when a creature moved by your Dark Star Maw ends its turn within 5 feet of you, you can spend 1 Ki to attempt to drawn them into the void within you. The creature must succeed on a dexterity saving throw vs your Ki DC. On a failure they experience an excruciating warping as their form is shredded, spaghettified, and swallowed by you where they begin to fall eternally into your void. While within they are blinded and restrained and have total cover. They can use their action to make an Athletics check against your Ki DC to escape, otherwise they suffer Force damage equal to 2 rolls of your Martial Arts die at the beginning of each of your turns. You may only have one creature swallowed in this way at a time.

Black Heart Horizon

At 17th level your body becomes one with the void, able to consume even magic. When you succeed on a saving throw against a spell or magical effect you can choose to nullify such magic as if countering or dispelling it with a 9th level spell slot. The whole of the effect is drawn into your void and it has no effect on any other targets or areas. When you consume an effect in this way you regain Ki points equal to your Wisdom modifier. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus and regain all uses after a long rest.
