Manticore Paaridar

CREATURE 7

Monks dissatisfied with the limits of their humanoid forms and yearning for a shortcut can steal the might from other creatures. These monks become paaridars, amalgamations that blend the features of their former ancestry with the form of another creature. The transformation challenges the limits of the paaridar's body and soul, demanding continual discipline to maintain control.

The rituals to make this transformation were developed by Paaridus, namesake of this loose monastic order. The process requires a captive creature-a victim to draw powers from. Over days of intense rituals, the monk displaces their own chakras with those of the victim. This unnatural process transforms the ki, and thereby the body. The lower chakras are considered "safer" to replace. Most Paaridars stop at the root, sacral, and navel chakras. To go farther risks losing control of one's emotions and intellect entirely, a fate Paaridus himself succumbed to. Paaridars consider this his sacrifice and lesson, but other monks recognize that even one step on this path is profane. The creature victimized by the ritual remains-still alive, but only a husk, as the transformed chakras within leave it weak and removed from its nature.

Effect The paaridar makes two unarmed Strikes or two spike Strikes. If both hit the same creature, combine their damage for the purpose of resistances and weaknesses.
Limited Flight

The manticore paaridar's wings are small and weak, insufficient to keep them in the air. If the paaridar Flies using their wings, they fall at the end of their turn if they haven't landed.

Monk Ki Spells

The Paaridar's ki flow is unnaturally disrupted, causing them to take 1d6 void damage each time they cast a ki spell.
