I like this Monk. A lot of thought into mashing the right elements together. Part homage to D&D, and partly movie monk magic. Slightly OP, but let's face it, most homebrewed classes will be. That's the nature of power creep. Overall I reckon playing this monk would be a blast!

Thanks! I see that you've made several homebrewed classes; do you have any advice for avoiding power creep? I know Shadowdark isn't, strictly speaking, a balanced system - but I always strive to make my classes, ancestries, etc balanced.

I've failed myself. Basically, the Fighter needs to stay the best option for Fighter... etc. A practically impossible goal. Any new Class runs into this issue, because this is the nature of homebrewing. The monk would probably be better as d6 hit die, not d8, due to all the fancy skills and talents they have. I think I broke this advice myself. I like your monk.
