Hello, everyone! This week’s article is going to be a dual release for Tales of the Valiant and 5.24’s respective Monk classes. This is the second of four subclasses who channel the Lycan spirits of Rust Moon – the wererabbit! One challenge with publishing content for two game systems simultaneously is the need to share what seems like redundant information if you’re looking at the two side-by-side. This format is still largely experimental, but since the Clover Moon monk doesn’t feel like it needed as much adjustment between systems beyond some Style Guide features, this seemed like a good opportunity to see if the weekly article started to feel unwieldy with two versions of the subclass present.

Monk Subclass – Warrior of the Clover Moon [D&D 5.24]

Deal Harsh Counterattacks to Foes.

Warriors of the Clover Moon draw supernatural agility from the wererabbit Lycan spirit. The wererabbit is often dismissed as a prey species, but their heightened senses allow them to use a foe’s missteps to their advantage and deliver counterattacks.
