Monk subclass
Open Hand
Add control riders to Flurry of Blows and gain self-healing.
Open Hand starts by changing the normal Monk play pattern through Open Hand Technique, giving the subclass its first clear mechanical identity.
Later features such as Wholeness of Body, Tranquility, Quivering Palm expand that identity at higher levels, so the subclass has a clearer role in combat, exploration, utility, or support.
