Way of the Celestial Cloth

Monks who follow the Way of the Celestial Cloth devote themselves to awakening the Cosmos, the inner spark said to mirror the constellations themselves. Through discipline, conviction, and trials that test both body and spirit, they earn the right to manifest a Celestial Cloth — a radiant mantle of starlit armor shaped by their Zodiac sign and the strength of their resolve. These warriors believe that every soul is bound to a constellation, and that true power comes not from aggression, but from the courage to let one’s spirit burn brighter than the heavens. When a Celestial Cloth monk enters battle, their strikes shimmer with astral force, their movements blur like falling stars, and their will becomes an unbreakable beacon. To walk this path is to carry the weight of myth, destiny, and the sky itself — and to rise, again and again, no matter how many times the world tries to extinguish your light.

Cosmos Awakening

You gain a pool of Cosmos Points equal to twice your proficiency bonus.
You regain all spent Cosmos Points when you finish a long rest.
Cosmos Points fuel your Celestial Cloth and constellation techniques.

Constellation Cloth

At 3rd level, you choose one Constellation Cloth from the list of 24 Constellations.
Each Constellation Cloth grants:

• A Constellation Passive (active while your Cloth is manifested)
• A Constellation Damage Type (your empowered strike type)
• A Constellation Technique (costs 1 Cosmos)
• +1 to your AC

You may change your Constellation Cloth whenever you gain a Monk level.
