Monk's Monastery

The monk’s monastery is a monument to contemplation and self-reliance, creating one or more of the following effects at the GM’s discretion.

Demesne Effects

• Creatures age more slowly within the confines of the monk’s demesne.
• The temperature in the monk’s demesne is always temperate, all year round, all day long.
• Violence of any kind in the demesne has a 15% chance of summoning a Source of Earth, who immediately uses Back to Earth to end the violence. The monk can reverse these effects.

Stronghold Actions

On initiative count 20 (losing initiative ties), the monk can take a stronghold action to cause one of the following effects. The monk must be in the same hex or province as their stronghold, and can’t use the same effect again until after a short or long rest.

• Until initiative count 20 on the next round, your skin becomes diamond. For the duration, you are immune to all but psychic damage.
• You make eight unarmed attacks against an adjacent enemy.
• You regain all ki, as though you had finished a short or long rest.

Class Feature Improvement: Focused Ki

Whenever you are attacked while you have unspent ki, you can ignore all of the attack’s effects except its damage. You can do this a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, after which you must take a long rest to refresh this ability.
