Touch of Death

Cost: 5 Character Points

Your study of death allows you to extract vitality from another creature as it nears its demise. When you reduce a creature within 5 feet of you to 0 stamina, you gain temporary stamina equal to your martial feat die + your Wisdom modifier.

Hour of Reaping

Cost: 10 Character Points
Prerequisite: Touch of Death and 4 Other Monk Talents

You gain the ability to unsettle or terrify those around you as an action, for your soul has been touched by the shadow of death. When you take this action, make a chi attack roll vs the Wisdom defense of each creature within 30 feet of you that can see you. On a hit, the target is Frightened of you until the end of your next turn.

Mastery of Death

Cost: 35 Character Points
Prerequisite: Hour of Reaping and 8 Monk Talents

You use your familiarity with death to escape its grasp. When you are reduced to 0 stamina, you can expend 1 chi point (no action required) to have 1 stamina instead.

Touch of the Long Death

Cost: 40 Character Points
Prerequisite: Mastery of Death and 12 other Monk Talents

Your touch can channel the energy of death into a creature. As an action, you touch one creature within 5 feet of you and expend 1 to 10 chi points. Make a chi attack vs the target’s Constitution defence. On a hit, the target takes decay damage equal to two rolls of your martial feat die per chi point spent, or half as much damage on a miss.
