Advanced Martial Stances

11-Level Monk Feature

These martial stances are incredibly draining and require the utmost focus in order to execute. The stress of these techniques requires the martial artist to continuously expend ki in order to maintain these stances. These stances require you to expend 2 ki points at the start of each turn in order to maintain their ki circulation and can only last up to 30 seconds. If you are swapping between an Advanced Martial Stance and another martial stance you will still need to expend 2 ki points per turn unless you want your Advanced Martial Stance to end prematurely. After performing an Advanced Martial Flourish, you cannot use that stance again until you have completed a long rest.
