Jade Strike
[edit] Jade Strike
Type: Monk Stunning and cursing enhancement
Prerequisites:
- Monk level 12
- Path of Harmonious Balance
- Shintao Monk II (granted as part of this Prestige enhancement)
Cooldown: 15 seconds
Target: Enemy
Ki cost to use: 15
You perform a melee attack that is anathema to tainted creatures, that increases their physical damage vulnerability by 10% and reduces their fortification by 25%. A successful Will save negates this effect (DC = 10 + Wisdom modifier + your monk level). This ability only functions on aberrations, extraplanar creatures that are not classified as Lawful Outsiders, and undead, and counts as a Light move. Creatures that are both extraplanar and either aberrations, or undead receive double this effect. On critical hits, a tainted target will be locked in a tomb of jade on a failed Will save (DC = 10 + Wisdom modifier + your monk level). Extraplanar aberrations or Undead must succeed at two consecutive Will saves to avoid their fate.
Jade Strike curses tainted enemies (such as beholders or undead) with increased susceptibility to damage. On critical hits, the target is encased in jade stone--effectively stunning the target, including undead, who normally cannot be stunned.
The perfected version of this ability is found in the Shintao Monk III enhancement, Tomb of Jade.
