At 20th level, a monk becomes a magical creature.

Additionally, the monk gains damage reduction 10/chaotic, which allows him to ignore the first 10 points of damage from any attack made by a non-chaotic weapon or by any natural attack made by a creature that doesn't have similar damage reduction. Unlike other outsiders, the monk can still be brought back from the dead as if he were a member of his previous creature type. | At 20th level, a monk becomes a magical creature.

If the target fails the save, it acquires the [[Unconscious]] status condition and its hit points drop to -10. If it makes its save, it acquires the [[Bloodied]] condition and immediately drops to half its total hit points. If the target already has the [[Bloodied]] condition and makes its save, this power has no effect. Timing is everything. | ||
