Formbender (Monk/Summoner)

Monks are well known for their mystical connection to their inner power. However, some bend this connection to form a bond with an extraplanar entity, gaining a number of powerful abilities in the process. These formbenders can summon forth the aspect of an eidolon from the outerplanes through meditation and training, enhancing their combat capabilities and diversifying their abilities. (Original Concept by Arkellus)
