Monk › Monk of the Sacred Mountain

Iron Limb Defense (Ex)

Level: 5


Source: Advanced Player's Guide, p. 114

Replaces: High Jump

At 5th level, a monk of the sacred mountain can deflect blows with an active defense that complements his bastion stance. If the monk starts and ends his turn in the same space, he gains a +2 shield bonus to AC and CMD until the start of his next turn. As a swift action, he can spend 1 ki point to increase this bonus to +4. This ability replaces high jump.
