Description:
The Fists of Vengeance are a group of rogue ex-monks that got sick and tired of ignoring the problems the peasants faced from greedy dishonest nobles. After witnessing a massacre of helpless innocents, the order was formed by a dark haired monk named Raven Silverhawk. She asked her monastic order to respond to the attack and avenge and protect the peasants, but the order replied that the nobles had the law on their side. Frustrated she left the monastery and disappeared into the woods. That could have been the end of the story, but about a year later, while the armored knights of an evil kingdom were running peasants off of a plot of land, a mysterious stranger appeared and attacked the knights. The knight that survived to tell about the attack stated that there was a flash and they could barely think. That’s when that woman began to pound on them relentlessly. He said that the commander was about to smite her with his blade when she raised her hand and blasted him with some force that knocked him off his feet and tore his armor asunder. The knight said he barely managed to get away with his life and was executed for his cowardice. The Order of the Fists of Vengeance was born.

Ki Power Up: The Fist of Vengeance can concentrate on focusing her ki, thus causing her ki to be stronger. The Stunning Blast can now can deal damage opponents.

The first level of improved power up allows the character to fly, as per the spell, for one minute per point of wisdom modifier plus her class level. This time can be split up into increments of one minute if desired. The Fist of Vengeance can then power up another level for each point of wisdom modifier. Each round in this higher state causes 1d6 points of damage per level above her normal limit to the characters body, but adds more damage to the Ki Blast. When in this state her aura is so dense and powerful, she receives a +4 deflection bonus to her AC. Hair grows an additional six inches per level above the maximum attainable level. If the Fist of Vengeance happens to have damage reduction, it blocks some of the damage from powering up. This is a supernatural ability.
