Paaridar monk

[Waldham]

Hello, is it possible to create a paaridar monk ?

Quote:

The rituals to make this transformation were developed by Paaridus, namesake of this loose monastic order. The process requires a captive creature—a victim to draw powers from. Over days of intense rituals, the monk displaces their own chakras with those of the victim. This unnatural process transforms the ki, and thereby the body. The lower chakras are considered “safer” to replace. Most Paaridars stop at the root, sacral, and navel chakras. To go farther risks losing control of one's emotions and intellect entirely, a fate Paaridus himself succumbed to. Paaridars consider this his sacrifice and lesson, but other monks recognize that even one step on this path is profane. The creature victimized by the ritual remains—still alive, but only a husk, as the transformed chakras within leave it weak and removed from its nature.

That sounds like 100% flavor and backstory. I don't see any game mechanics in it.

Seems a bit too dark for my liking. But to each their own.

I wish there was some more "dark" monk options. There's disrupt ki. That sort of works. Use it with clinging shadows to drain energy from a distance. Bonus points if you finish people off like the headless in Sekiro with clinging shadows. Your table might hate you though. It's just where the chakras are located lol.
