The origins of the Way of the Galewind Monks can be traced to an ancient monastery situated atop a mountain peak, where the howling winds and tumultuous storms were a constant presence. The monks of this monastery learned to harness the energy of the tempest and the swiftness of the wind, fusing these elements with their martial arts to become formidable cyclonic warriors. Monks who follow the Way of the Galewind harness the unstoppable force of the tempest and channel it through their martial arts. With the grace of the wind and the might of a storm, they deliver lightning-fast strikes and agile movements that can topple even the mightiest foes. These monks are the embodiment of the cyclone's power, both relentless and precise in their combat.

You regain all expended uses of this feature after finishing a short rest.
