Enlightened Monk

A monk’s ki and psionic power have long thought to be linked. Enlightened monks learn how to use their ki to fuel their psionic abilities and ways to harness their psionic power.

Class Skills: The enlightened monk adds Autohypnosis (Wis) as a class skill.

Psionic Training

An enlightened monk unlocks his psionic power and learns to use it in combat. The enlightened monk gains the Wild Talent and Psionic Fist feats as bonus feats.

This ability replaces the bonus feat gained at 1st level.

Stunning Fist

When an enlightened monk uses his Stunning Fist ability, he can choose to expend his psionic focus to gain a +1 bonus to the save DC of that Stunning Fist attack. If the enlightened monk expends his psionic focus for the Psionic Fist feat as part of a Stunning Fist attack, he gains this bonus in addition to the bonus damage from Psionic Fist.

Ki Psionics

An enlightened monk can use his ki points in place of power points for special abilities including manifesting powers (such as those that might be gained from multiclassing) or racial abilities like the elan’s resilience ability. In addition, the enlightened monk can spend 1 ki point to use catfall as a psi-like ability with a manifester level equal to his class level.

This ability replaces the slow fall ability.

Augmented Stunning Fist (Su)

An enlightened monk of 6th level can channel power points into his Stunning Fist attacks to make them more devastating. When the enlightened monk uses his Stunning Fist attack, he may choose to spend up to his class level in power points on the attack. If he does, he gains an insight bonus to the damage if the attack is successful equal to the number of power points spent. For every two power points spent adding damage, the save DC of the Stunning Fist attack increases by 1. The enlightened monk cannot spend more power points on this ability than his monk level.

This ability replaces the bonus feat gained at 6th level.
