Caralaria 13th Age

As a pure monk, Caralaria was difficulty to convert until the recent release of _13 True Ways_, which defined the monk for _13th Age_ for the first time. This version of the monk is more complicated than the _Pathfinder_ monk, but also seems like a lot more fun.

Class Features

• Jab, Fist & Kick Attacks: Monk forms provide jab (6d6+STR), punch (6d8+STR) and kick (6d10+STR) attacks. You may get magic-weapon style powers from magic bracers.
• Forms: Monks attack in a three step progression, with forms that provide one of each type of attack. Each step improves your defense: opening (+1 AC), flow (+2 AC), finishing (+3 AC). Monks can mix forms, but must follow the progression, and have to begin with an opening on a miss or round spent doing something else.
• Ki: You get a pool of six points of ki per day. Spending ki is a free action, and only one point can be spent per turn. A point can be spent to adjust the natural result of a roll by 1 or to activate a ki power.
• Two-Weapon FIghting: You may reroll a melee attack on a natural roll of 2.

Class Talents

• Flurry^a (at-will, quick action, escalation 2+): Target one enemy with a DEX+Level vs. AC attack, dealing jab damage.
  • Ki Power (A Thousand Palms): After making a flurry attack, spend a point of ki to make another flurry attack against a different target.
• Leaf on Wind^c (1/battle, when you make move action): Take another move action as a free action. In addition, if you fall with a wall, tree, or other physical object next to you, you can fall up to 30 feet per level without taking damage. When an enemy makes an attack against you that targets more than one creature, you only take half damage from that attack, hit or miss.
  • Ki Power (Wind’s Comrade): You can spend 1 point of ki during your turn to gain flight until the end of your turn.
• Spinning Willow Style^ac (when a ranged- or close-quarters attack targeting AC or PD hits you): Roll a normal save, take only half damage on success. On a natural 18+, take no damage and redirect a quarter of the damage to a nearby enemy.
  • Ki Power (The Willow Bends): You can spend 1 point of ki to turn a failed Spinning Willow Style save into a success.
• Path of the Perfect Warrior (1/day): For an entire battle, increase your jab damage dice to d8s, your punch damage dice to d10s, and your kick damage dice to d12s.
  • Ki Power (Perfect Breath): Once per day when you are healing using a recovery, you can spend 1 point of ki to heal using a second (free) recovery as well.
