Description
The body and mind of a living being hold great and powerful secrets, for the Self is more than it is made out to be. Monks know this better than anyone else; whether it be through profound introspection or grueling training, the monk transforms a frail and transient body into a most grievous weapon, capable of feats that defy belief. The philosophies of the monks are as many as the stars in the sky, but nearly all are possessed of a powerful drive to go beyond what is humanly possible.
Many monasteries and dojos train their own monks with a unique fighting style. To reflect the emphasis of the monk’s training, choose any two saving throws to use the Good progression. The remaining saving throw uses the Poor progression.
