Rai Sho Disciple

The disciple cups one hand and poses the other to strike it, like the Rai Sho Monastery's central bell. In this stance, they can make temple bell Strikes (see Strikes). While in this stance, a disciple gains a +2 status bonus to AC against ranged attacks.

The disciple joins their palms together in the shape of a sal flower, evoking the truth that all things eventually decay. In this stance, they can make sal blossom Strikes (see Strikes) and are Quickened, and can use the extra action only to cast wholeness of body.

The Rai Sho disciples have learned a technique that allows them to cast their ki spells more effectively by way of specialized hand postures. They replace the normal somatic and verbal components of their spells with nine seals components; these require that the caster have a hand free, but don't add any traits to the Cast a Spell action (preventing the Rai Sho disciples from triggering certain reactions, such as Attack of Opportunity, when they Cast a Spell).
