Way of Rhalgr

Way of Rhalgr - Monk Archetype

Those who are students of the Fist of Rhalgr are monks from a distant realm. They spend their days worshiping their god Rhalgr, the god of destruction within their pantheon. To the monks who specialize in the Fist of Rhalgr style, to achieve perfection in martial prowess is the greatest veneration to Rhalgr.

The monks of this powerful style focus on opening chakra gates within themselves and achieving a phenomenon they refer to as Greased Lightning. This state of flow occurs as a Monk strings their blows together into long flowing combinations usually finishing off with a destructive strike in Rhalgr's honour.
