Way of the Silent Step (5e Subclass)
Way of the Silent Step
A Monk Subclass For 5th Edition
The Silent Step Monk
The Silent Step Monks were considered the masters of weightless movement and precision balance, a gracefulness of agility and of extreme speed. Forged from multiple warrior clans, Ronin and outlaws, the clan grew from the wisdom of its founder and Master, Lao Wushin. Master Lao taught that all mastery of skill is founded in a single feather which, when taken flight- will gain speed! Or, when still- will be able to float on air in peaceful serenity! Thus is how the Silent Step Monk is to be.
