The Way of the Metalon Fist

___________________________________
Way of the Metallon Fist

Monks of the Way of the Metallon Fist have developed mastery of infusing their Ki with various metal substances (iron, gold, silver, copper as well as alloys such as brass and steel) and then absorbing the qualities into their fists. The monks fist will become visibly changed (affect depends on the amount and type of metal used) while focusing the flow. This allows the monk of the Way of the Metallon Fist to strike with hand or foot or even elbow while focusing the internal metal into the striking point.

Metallon Fist (Level 3)

When you choose this monk tradition at 3rd level, your character gains the ability to absorb various metals into their bodies. This adds to the damage which can be done by unarmed attacks.
Absorbing the metal requires the use of Ki points (1 Ki per pound).
Time required is 1 hour of focused concentration per pound of metal. There must be at least 1 pound of metal and can be derived from nearly any source but a tempered weapon such as a dagger is an ideal source. Object is destroyed by absorbing it (cannot be recovered).
If a magical weapon is absorbed, the magical properties are maintained and added to the monks unarmed attack.
The monk can use the absorbed metal in any unarmed attack – directing the flow of the metal into hands and feet with their focus. Absorbed metal effects remain until replaced.
