{"name":"Monk Way of the Silver Claw","overview":"[p]The Way of the Silver Claw teaches that the body is a conduit for moonlight. These monks paint their hands with silver dust or tattoo intricate lunar phases down their arms. In battle, they are a blur of pale light. They do not just punch; they slash, aiming for arteries and magical leylines. They are specifically trained to fight monsters that resist normal weapons, using their Ki to burn through supernatural defenses.[\/p]\r\n[p][\/p]\r\n[p][\/p]\r\n","hit_dice":"1d8 per Monk level","hit_points_at_1st_level":"8 + your Constitution modifier","hit_points_at_higher_levels":"1d8 (or 5) + your Constitution modifier per Monk level after 1st","armor_proficiencies":"None","weapon_proficiencies":"Simple weapons, shortswords","tools":"Choose one type of artisan's tools or one musical instrument","saving_throws":"Strength, Dexterity","skills":"Choose two from Acrobatics, Athletics, History, Insight, Religion, and Stealth","starting_equipment":"[p](a) a shortsword or (b) any simple weapon [\/p]\r\n[p](a) a dungeoneer's pack or (b) an explorer's pack 10 darts[\/p]\r\n[p]10 darts[\/p]\r\n[p][\/p]\r\n","spellcasting":"","class_features":"[p]Unarmored Defense: (Level 1) AC = 10 + Dex mod + Wis mod when not wearing armor.
