Base Class: Monk
Monks of the Way of the Ascendant Star become living constellations. Their ki manifests as platinum chains and celestial spheres, allowing them to command the battlefield like orbiting stars. Every strike traces starlight through the air as they become the embodiment of Bahamut's celestial wrath.
