Base Class: Monk
A scheming black dragon raising the ultimate assassin, a hero who earned the tuelage of a gold dragon or perhaps even an order of monks studying under a silver dragon. These wandering figures learn how to channel their ki to mimic a dragon's glory.
Dragons are powerful and ancient creatures, as such, they have earned the admiration and fear of countless individuals throughout the ages, from the kobolds who serve them to the brave warriors who slay them. The monks who study the Way of the Dragon come from many different paths, from wanderers of the icy wastes, tailing a Young White Dragon and learning from it's hunting to shipwrecked youths taken under the care of a passing Adult Bronze Dragon. Perhaps even humble yet haunted mortals seeking peace under the tuelage of a Ancient Silver Dragon in grand monasteries.
Mimicking their mentor's might through ki, these monks embody their legendary teachers to fulfill their goals.
