Monk
Base Class: Monk

The Way of the Ki Paw is a disciplined monk subclass that delves into the esoteric realm of disrupting and controlling the flow of ki, the life energy that permeates all beings. These monks are masters of precision, harnessing their extraordinary focus and martial prowess to strike at the heart of their opponents' ki, effectively halting their ability to harness its power.

They are adept at recognizing and manipulating the subtlest movements and energy patterns of their adversaries. Through rigorous training and meditation, they have honed their skills to the point where they can strike with unparalleled accuracy, targeting key points in their opponents' bodies to interrupt and disrupt the natural flow of ki.

  • Numbing Paw - The target cannot use its Reaction, the target also rolls all attack rolls with disadvantage.
  • Thundering Paw - Till the end of the target's next turn, it takes an extra 1d6 force damage from all damage rolls and its movement speed is 0.
