This supplement offers rules to play the Monk class, a mystical martial artist that is defined by unarmed & unarmored combat, as well as qigong techniques - each based on an animal from the Chinese zodiac - that enable them to perform supernatural feats. Your monk will grow in power as they adventure, growing faster & stronger as they level up, and learning new qigong techniques from Kung Fu masters they encounter & prove themselves worthy to. This new class draws inspiration from Kung Fu and Wuxia media like Ip Man and Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, as well as various video games and anime like Final Fantasy and Avatar: The Last Airbender. The design of the class incorporates some elements from the Fighter, Ranger, and Ras Godai - while offering a playstyle that is fully unique.  In addition to the 2 page class description, there are guidelines for the DM to adjudicate the learning of new qigong techniques, as well as 2 pages of monk-themed magic items. These include various fist weapons to enhance your unarmed strikes, magical tattoos in the form of the "Marks of Madeera", as well as legendary weapons such as The Jade Destiny, and the deadly qigong technique known as the Dim Mak (a.k.a. The Five Point Palm Exploding Heart Technique)!
