Kukan-Do

Kukan-Do
Type: Monk Stunning enhancement

Prerequisites: Cooldown:
 * Monk level 18
 * Path of Harmonious Balance
 * Shintao Monk III (granted as part of this Prestige enhancement)

Target: Enemy

'''Ki cost to use: 25

You lock gazes with an enemy, stunning them for a short period of time on a failed Will save (DC = 10 + Charisma Modifier + your monk level). Any effects that modify your Stunning Blow or Stunning Fist DCs also affect this ability. Sightless creatures are unaffected by this ability. This ability counts as a Light move.

Kukan-Do may be the ultimate stunning ability of a Monk. Without having to make contact with the enemy other than line-of-sight, the Monk can effectively stun a single enemy through ki and their force of will. This ability is powerful, with many player reports showing it effective even against Epic monsters.

Like Shining Star, this ability is affected by Charisma, an ability stat otherwise unused by most Monks.
