Class Features

Weapon and Armor Proficiency: A soul of yin gains no weapon or armor proficiencies.

Unity of Body: As long as you have 1 ki point, you are immune to all diseases and if you have 7 or more ki points, you are immune to poison.

High Jump: A soul of yin adds his level to all Acrobatics checks made to jump, both for vertical jumps and horizontal jumps. In addition, he always counts as having a running start when making jump checks using Acrobatics. By spending 1 point from his ki pool as a swift action, a soul of yin gains a +20 bonus on Acrobatics  checks made to jump for 1 round.

Crippling Finger: You may decide to do minimum damage with your unarmed attack. If you do, you increase your threat range by one and your muliplier by one. This stacks with other increases and is added after those.

Unbroken Fist: By spending a ki point, all your attacks against a target are considered one attack for purposes of damage reduction and threshold. Roll to hit and damage normally but only reduce damage reductions once.

Damn the River: By spending a ki point, you gain fast healing 1 for as many rounds as you have ki points left. Feats can be spent to increase this amount by one, but no greater than your Wis mod.

Day to Night: You reduce damage taken from weapons and energy by your Wis mod as long as you have over half your ki points remaining, otherwise reduce the damage by one instead.

Surge of Speed: When rolling inititive, add an insight bonus equal to your ki points. You may spend a ki point to 'Refocus' as a swift action.

Author's Note: Keep in mind, the Soul of Yin does NOT count towards monk level, meaning you are giving up something to follow down this path.
