Way of the Stand II

Stands are, in their basic form, the spiritual manifestation of one's own soul and strength. They come in many shapes and sizes, from the fast and mobile, the secretive and deadly, and the slow but measurable in their destructive power. Some stands are stronger than others, those who are born into the "Joestar" bloodline tend to have stronger but those who have been touched by "The Arrow" more than once are able to tap into their stand's true strength and obtain a "Requiem Stand". Stands are only visible by those who bear stands or to those who have latent ability, magi and the likes.

Stand

Starting when you take this monastic tradition at 3rd level you develop a stand. You can choose any appearance and name for your stand. Your stand shares your ability scores, AC, hit points, and movement speed.

You can forgo your action, bonus action, and/or reaction to summon your stand and do anything you can do with it or it can us one of its own abilities.  Your stand shares your movement speed, but has a range of how far away from you it can move (still using the same movement speed). You take any damage your stand takes and your stand is affected by any effect such as charmed or exhaustion that you are. 

You can choose your stand's stats, ranking them from A to E. You gain 3 stand points to increase your stand stats above rank C and you can gain additional stand points by lowering a Stat bellow rank C you gain 1 stand point per rank lowered. One rank up = 1 Stand point. You gain additional stand points at 8th level and at 17th level based on your Development Potential.
