  5. The monastery of the Golden Sun left behind it a legacy of admiration by many who walked the solitary life of the monk. The head of this order led a life of peace and tranquility, and his order protected an heirloom of the utmost importance; a text that was believed to hold the power to plunge the world into darkness. For years, his order kept it safe. However, a schism formed at the time of his passing.

  7. The son of the elder monk and his top trainee came to odds over how to best lead the order of the Golden Sun, and so the monastery split. The history of one of the grandest of all monk traditions came to an end, and with it, the text that was said to hold the world's fate fell into the shadows.

  22.  
  23. 1) The Muscle: You may add your STR mod to your AC
  24. Tatoo: Charging Bull: Once per short rest, you may use your action and movement action to move up to your max movement x2. If you stop adjacent to a creature this way, you make an unarmed attack against it. On hit, you automatically crit, knock the creature prone, and inflict "Broken Back." Creatures with broken back are unable to use their movement to pick themselves up again. If this attack misses, you act as if it hits and roll damage as normal, knocking them prone.
  25.  
  26. 2) The Spirit Guide: You may add your INT to your initiative roll
  27. Tatoo: Third-Eye Crane: Your third eye fully awakens. Once per short rest, you gain true-sight up to your standard vision range for 10 minutes. In addition, you can cast the following spell once during that 10 minutes:
  28. Flay
  29. Casting Time: 1 bonus action
