Here is the first complete draft of the Way of the Plaguebearer - A monastic tradition for the Monk with a darker side. While the Plaguebearer isn't necessarily evil, his powers often come from the experiments of others or other unfortunate circumstances.
This draft of the archetype was heavily influenced by suggestions from reddit users /u/chifii and /u/Leuku and the idea came from /u/Randehhh and his Way of the Tainted Soul, a demon pact based monastic tradition. I just want to make sure that I take the time to credit these individuals for their help and inspiration.
I'm inviting discussion on the abilities, flavour, and numbers. Balancing damages, ki costs, and effects can be difficult so I am looking forward to the feedback!
