Way of the Open Hand

The Open Hand tradition, usually called the Way of the Open Hand, was a discipline followed by various monastic orders in Faerûn. As a monk progressed, they gained various abilities including the ability to cast certain spells.

Open Hand Tradition Abilities
Novice monks were able to use the open hand technique, which made them able to utilize their enemies' ki. Advanced monks were able to head themselves, whilst very advanced monks could cast sanctuary. Those that were close to mastering this tradition learned the technique of the quivering palm, which inflicted great pain onto their foes.
