Monk: Way of the Viper | New Subclass (v1.1)

Patch notes at the bottom of the post!

Monks harness the energy that flows through the bodies of living creatures, called ki, to accomplish breathtaking feats of strength and dexterity. Often using little more than their own fists, these pugilists are the height of physical prowess and natural potential. Depending on where they train, a monk will gain uncanny mastery over their ki and physicalability using ancient traditions and techniques passed down from one generation to the next.

Strike with quick reaction options, like a serpent!
Shirk off conditions with ease!
Apply poison to even unpoisonable creatures!

Since not all subclasses are tied to a specific setting in Saddlebag Year 5, consider the following pre-existing settings to align this with.

Amphibios
Antronec
Bloodmire
Crest City
Festerwood
The Graveyard
Grymclover Forests
Hearth
The H'rethi Desert
The Infinite Animarum
