Shattered Pillar is a Subclass of Monk in Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire. Subclasses are a specialization of a main Class, and can be mixed for Multiclassing. The name of the resulting mix will be the same as it would have been for the primary class, regardless of the subclass you have taken.
"Unlike other monastic orders, monks of the Shattered Pillar gain power from causing pain and harm. While not inherently sadistic, the order does attract many practitioners who delight in the suffering of others."

I'll say this: the punching animations alone are reason enough to roll a monk. This is also a nice twist on wound generation, feels great early on to be able to leave the tanking to Edér while being able to dish out damage using wounds.
