This discipline is mostly the way of the open hand with a couple cleric spells. It would do better to use Ki Points and follow a system like the way of the four elements or the shadow monk.

Not a bad adventure if your party likes puzzles. I feel like somethings weren't explained well and you have to ad-hoc a bit, for the puzzles, specifically. My players had a good time but the boss fight is pretty simple.

Had a blast running this. I run a zanier game and I embelished the Xanathar by going full Donald Trump with him. From Summoning tiny mage hands to emote to complaining about crooked Laeral Silverhand. The Noir feel on top of that was great. Excellent box text. Bogart would interrupt the players with his musings while I cut to classic jazz for the background music.

I have to re-look at it but I think there are a couple letters messed up on the Doc Ward ads.

Great story. Fun to run. My players were sad to separate the boy from his friend.

Good fun for a quirky relaxed adventure. Great one shot you can do in 3-4 hours.
