Way of the Heart (sage field)
From The Authentic D&D Wiki
Jump to navigationJump to searchWay of the heart is a sage field available to monks, allowing them to embrace the balance of Yin & Yang as a means to empower the body, gaining strength from the energy that surrounds the character. Monks of this way seek interconnectness and interdependence with the natural world.
Practitioners of this way are often associated with the "Red Hat" school of arts.
The field includes the following sage studies:
- Blood: maintains the body's purity, increasing it's capacity for providing energy to the body, guiding the healing process and the character's will over the body's weaknesses.
- Breath: increases the monk's speed of attack by lessening the body's need for air, or animus.
- Dragon: distracts and confuses the enemy by calling forth the earth's spirit, commonly termed "the dragon," as an ally.
- Yin & Yang: enables numerous combat techniques that surpass the body's limitations by transforming weaknesses into strengths.
