Fun fact: Astarian Monks come from the Freelands Setting and will be featured in the campaign book!

“One must be ever watchful of the darkness. For no matter how bright the flame, there will always be a shadow from which they can strike.” ~ excerpt from the writings of Emporer Xia Tsu Xing assassinated 176 GA

Masters of deception and the stealthy arts, astarian monks have become one with the shadows. These highly skilled assassins and spies train in secret monasteries hidden throughout the continent and have a presence in every kingdom and empire. While they are typically employed by the wealthy, they have been known to ally themselves with those whose cause they find worthy.

Masters of Disguise. Through intense study and training, the monks have perfected the art of subterfuge and deception.

Shadow Warriors. The monks can fight in pure darkness, stepping from the shadows to deal stunning blows with deadly precision.

Stunning Fists. A blade in the dark is the usual weapon of choice for assassins, but astarian monks have trained their unarmed strikes to stun their targets.
