Monks of the Way of Altered Motion are figures who have delved deep into the secrets of kinetic energy, balance, and the laws of motion. They believe that the very essence of existence can be understood through the study of these fundamental principles, and they have honed their bodies and minds to become living embodiments of this philosophy.
Through their profound connection to the ebb and flow of energy, practitioners of the Way of Altered Motion have developed a unique combat style that allows them to turn their foes’ own actions against them. The essence of their art lies in the concept of harmony – the perfect balance of forces. They see combat as a dance, a delicate interplay of energies that can be manipulated to their advantage. When a practitioner of the Way of Altered Motion strikes an opponent, it is not a mere act of brute force but a carefully calculated move, using the enemy’s weight and momentum to amplify the impact.
The Way of Altered Motion is a path of enlightenment, a pursuit of mastery over the physical world through the elegant manipulation of momentum. Those who walk this path are not just formidable warriors but also wise philosophers who seek to share their unique understanding of the universe with all who are willing to learn.
