Some monks see beauty and conformity as a distraction from the true path of nature’s intent. These monks deform their bodies and psyches, twisting their image to gain enlightenment in chaos.
Alignment
A twisted image must be chaotic. A twisted image who strays from chaos cannot gain new levels as a monk but retains all monk abilities.
This replaces alignment restrictions
Befuddling Strike (Ex)
At 1st level, a twisted image gains Befuddling Strike as a bonus feat, even if he does not meet the prerequisites. At 4th level, and every four levels thereafter, the DC to resist the monk’s Befuddling Strike increases by 1. A twisted image may make a Befuddling Strike a number of times per day equal to his monk level, plus one more time per day for every four levels he has in classes other than monk.
This ability replaces stunning fist
Twisted Aura (Su)
At 5th level, the monk of the twisted image gains a twisted aura with a radius of 5 feet. Whenever an enemy within his twisted aura hits with a melee attack, that attack targets a random creature within its reach other than itself. The monk may activate this aura as a standard action. He may have his aura active for a number of rounds each day equal to his monk level. These rounds need not be consecutive. The radius of this aura increases by 5 feet at 9th level, and every 4 levels thereafter.
This replaces style strikes
Soul Twisting (Su)
At 10th level, the monk of the twisted image gains insight into the ways of madness. He may spend a ki point as a swift action to choose one behavior for all confused creatures within 30 feet to exhibit for one round (as if all creatures rolled the same result).
This replaces bonus feat gained at 10th level
Pinnacle of Chaos (Ex)
At 20th level, the monk becomes a true pinnacle of chaos. His form becomes amorphous, granting him DR 10/law and immunity to spells with the law descriptor. Should he die, the monk of the twisted image is reborn 3 days later at a random place on a random plane. From then on, he may meditate for 1 hour to return to the first place where he died.
