Abilities
Breath of the Volcano (acid) — The monk lets loose a powerful breath of air, whose effect depends on the type of energy to which the monk is attuned. The monk can't use this ability again for 1d4 rounds.
Usvani exhales a miasma of acidic fumes in a 15-foot emanation. A creature that starts its turn in the area takes 12d6 acid damage- and must attempt a DC 33 Fortitude save.
Critical Success The creature is unaffected.
Success The creature takes half damage and is Sickened 1.
Failure The creature takes full damage and is Sickened 2.
Critical Failure The creature takes double damage and is Sickened 3.

Flurry of Blows (flourish) — The monk makes two Strikes with his fist or with a monk weapon. If both hit the same creature, combine their damage for the purpose of resistances and weaknesses.
Improved Knockdown —
Arcane Focus Spells DC 34, attack +26; 2 Focus Points
8th Wild Winds Stance, Wind Jump
WORKS WELL WITH
AnvilLANDA separate frontline body splits attention so this fast striker can flurry down whichever target is least protected.
SnareLANDA controller that clusters or immobilizes the party sets up the breath weapon's area for maximum coverage.
WeaverLANDA spellcaster chips away saves so the knockdown and elemental breath land more consistently.
PUNISHES
✖ clumping✖ standing in the open✖ low AC
Avoid pairing with another high-mobility melee striker; both race for the same isolated target and step on each other's positioning.
