Mind Over Body
Your physical abilities are augmented by your mental ones.
- Your Strength is increased by your Charisma bonus.
- Your Dexterity is increased by your Intelligence bonus.
- Your Constitution is increased by your Wisdom bonus.
All of these bonuses are capped by your current Monk level.
Focus
Through meditation, you can achieve a state of Focus, whereby you are fully in tune with the present moment, your mind is perfectly synced with your body, and you are in a state of mental and physical perfection. This has a number of benefits, mostly determined by your talent selections. Some abilities "slot" Focus, reserving a point or more to enable a continuous ability. Others deplete your Focus pool.
As you train in this discipline, your capacity for Focus yet increases. Your maximum Focus is given below:
| Level | Max Focus |
|---|---|
| 1-2 | 1 |
| 3-5 | 2 |
| 6-9 | 3 |
| 10-14 | 4 |
| 15-20 | 5 |
It takes time spent in meditation to restore lost Focus; you regain all Focus during a short rest.
