Divine Warrior-Monk Default Path

← All default paths

An unarmed ascetic who studies the gods as closely as the body: Martial Arts and Unarmored Defense come first, then Ki, Stunning Strike and the unarmored movement line at their classic levels. The Way of Mercy features are not open to this archetype, so a healer's training and the Cobalt Soul's scholarship stand in for them, and epic boons stand in for the high-level monk features. Free picks go to unarmed fighting styles, protective and controlling maneuvers, and bodily improvements for speed and resilience.
