Monastic Order: Path of Purity
*Requirement: No genetic mutations or implants of any type can be received prior to taking this subclass.
The monks of the Order of Purity follow a strict and unyielding philosophy that in a world of false power granted by implants and genetic modifications, only those who remain without implants and untouched by gene splicing are worthy to call their power their own. These monks also recognize that to be able to defend themselves in this world means pushing beyond the limitations of the natural world.
Monks of the Order of Purity maintain a constant state of extreme training on their bodies in some way or another, always pushing beyond their physical limitations. These monks look at the world filled with genetic mutations and implanted augmentations with disdain, hoping to calmly lead others away from such temptations by living as proof of how powerful one can be without turning to shortcuts.
