Way of the Limitless

Monk Subclass
Monks of the Way of the Limitless train to tear down the mind's protective limiters on physical exertion using Ki. By opening
each of their inner gates, they can push their bodies to achieve feats far beyond mere mortals. This is not without a cost,
however, as these monks quickly learn just how taxing it can be when your muscles work at their absolute maximum. That being
said, there is none better than a monk of the limitless when it comes to overcoming insurmountable odds, as long as their allies
stick around to help put them back together again.

Improved Physique
Starting at 3rd level, the intense training your body has gone through in order to properly unleash your inner potential has
strengthened your physical structure. Your maximum hit points are increased by 1, and increase by an additional 1 for level you
take in this class.
Gate Opening

to open one gate and release a tremendous amount of energy from the Ki. Each gate gives some bonus and allows you to use
some Ki Abilities, as described below. Each gate costs 1 Ki point and lasts 5 minutes. Each time you open a new gate the
duration resets. After the 5 minutes ends, you gain a level of exhaustion per gate. It is still valid opening gates beyond your
