## ***Powers and Abilities:***

### ***Feats and Boons:***

**Sentinel:** *You have mastered techniques to take advantage of every drop in any enemy’s guard, gaining the following benefits:*

*When you hit a creature with an opportunity attack, the creature’s speed becomes 0 for the rest of the turn.*

*Creatures provoke opportunity attacks from you even if they take the Disengage action before leaving your reach.*

*When a creature within 5 feet of you makes an attack against a target other than you (and that target doesn’t have this feat), you can use your reaction to make a melee weapon attack against the attacking creature.*

**Boon of Unrelenting Fists:** *your Fists bypass the damage resistances of any creature*

### ***Monk Class Features:***

**Level 1:**

* *Unarmored Defense:* Beginning at 1st level, while you are wearing no armor and not wielding a shield, your AC equals 10 + your Dexterity modifier + your Wisdom modifier.
* *Martial Arts:* Your practice of martial arts gives you mastery of combat styles that use unarmed strikes and monk weapons, which are shortswords and any simple melee weapons that don't have the two-handed or heavy property. You gain the following benefits while you are unarmed or wielding only monk weapons and you aren't wearing armor or wielding a shield.
	+ You can use Dexterity instead of Strength for the attack and damage rolls of your unarmed strikes and monk weapons.
	+ You can roll a d4 in place of the normal damage of your unarmed strike or monk weapon. This die changes as you gain monk levels, as shown in the Martial Arts column of the Monk table.
	+ When you use the Attack action with an unarmed strike or a monk weapon on your turn, you can make one unarmed strike as a bonus action. For example, if you take the Attack action and attack with a quarterstaff, you can also make an unarmed strike as a bonus action, assuming you haven't already taken a bonus action this turn. Certain monasteries use specialized forms of the monk weapons. For example, you might use a club that is two lengths of wood connected by a short chain (called a nunchaku) or a sickle with a shorter, straighter blade (called a kama).

**Level 2:**

* *KI* Starting at 2nd level, your training allows you to harness the mystic energy of ki. Your access to this energy is represented by a number of ki points. Your monk level determines the number of points you have, as shown in the Ki Points column of the Monk table.

You can spend these points to fuel various ki features. You start knowing three such features: Flurry of Blows, Patient Defense, and Step of the Wind. You learn more ki features as you gain levels in this class.

When you spend a ki point, it is unavailable until you finish a short or long rest, at the end of which you draw all of your expended ki back into yourself. You must spend at least 30 minutes of the rest meditating to regain your ki points.

Some of your ki features require your target to make a saving throw to resist the feature's effects. The saving throw DC is calculated as follows:

**Ki save DC** = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier

*Flurry of Blows*

Immediately after you take the Attack action on your turn, you can spend 1 ki point to make two unarmed strikes as a bonus action.

*Patient Defense*

You can spend 1 ki point to take the Dodge action as a bonus action on your turn.

*Step of the Wind*

You can spend 1 ki point to take the Disengage or Dash action as a bonus action on your turn, and your jump distance is doubled for the turn.

* *Dedicated Weapon:* You train yourself to use a variety of weapons as monk weapons, not just simple melee weapons and shortswords. Whenever you finish a short or long rest, you can touch one weapon, focus your ki on it, and then count that weapon as a monk weapon until you use this feature again. The chosen weapon must meet these criteria:
	+ The weapon must be a simple or martial weapon.
	+ You must be proficient with it.
	+ It must lack the heavy and special properties.
* *Unarmored Movement:* Starting at 2nd level, your speed increases by 10 feet while you are not wearing armor or wielding a shield. This bonus increases when you reach certain monk levels, as shown in the Monk table. At 9th level, you gain the ability to move along vertical surfaces and across liquids on your turn without falling during the move.

**Level 3:**

* *Deflect Missles:* Starting at 3rd level, you can use your reaction to deflect or catch the missile when you are hit by a ranged weapon attack. When you do so, the damage you take from the attack is reduced by 1d10 + your Dexterity modifier + your monk level. If you reduce the damage to 0, you can catch the missile if it is small enough for you to hold in one hand and you have at least one hand free. If you catch a missile in this way, you can spend 1 ki point to make a ranged attack (range 20/60 feet) with the weapon or piece of ammunition you just caught, as part of the same reaction. You make this attack with proficiency, regardless of your weapon proficiencies, and the missile counts as a monk weapon for the attack.
* *Ki-Fueled Attack:* If you spend 1 ki point or more as part of your action on your turn, you can make one attack with an unarmed strike or a monk weapon as a bonus action before the end of the turn.

**Level 4:**

* *Slow Fall:* Beginning at 4th level, you can use your reaction when you fall to reduce any falling damage you take by an amount equal to five times your monk level.
* *Quickened Healing*: As an action, you can spend 2 ki points and roll a Martial Arts die. You regain a number of hit points equal to the number rolled plus your proficiency bonus.

**Level 5**

* *Extra Attack:* Beginning at 5th level, you can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action on your tur
* *Stunning Strike:* Starting at 5th level, you can interfere with the flow of ki in an opponent's body. When you hit another creature with a melee weapon attack, you can spend 1 ki point to attempt a stunning strike. The target must succeed on a Constitution saving throw or be stunned until the end of your next turn.
* *Focused Aim:* When you miss with an attack roll, you can spend 1 to 3 ki points to increase your attack roll by 2 for each of these ki points you spend, potentially turning the miss into a hit.

**Level 6**

* *Ki-empowered Strikes:* Starting at 6th level, your unarmed strikes count as magical for the purpose of overcoming resistance and immunity to nonmagical attacks and damage.

**Level 7:**

* *Evasion:* At 7th level, your instinctive agility lets you dodge out of the way of certain area effects, such as a blue dragon's lightning breath or a fireball spell. When you are subjected to an effect that allows you to make a Dexterity saving throw to take only half damage, you instead take no damage if you succeed on the saving throw, and only half damage if you fail.
* *Stillness of Mind:* Starting at 7th level, you can use your action to end one effect on yourself that is causing you to be charmed or frightened.

**Level 9:**

* *Unarmored Movement Improvement:* At 9th level, you gain the ability to move along vertical surfaces and across liquids on your turn without falling during the move.

**Level 10:**

* *Purity of Body:* At 10th level, your mastery of the ki flowing through you makes you immune to disease and poison.

### ***Monk Subclass Abilities:***

**Level 3:**

* *Open hand Technique:* You can manipulate your enemy's ki when you harness your own. Whenever you hit a creature with one of the attacks granted by your Flurry of Blows, you can impose one of the following effects on that target.
	+ It must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or be knocked prone.
	+ It must make a Strength saving throw. If it fails, you can push it up to 15 feet away from you.
	+ It can't take reactions until the end of your next turn.

**Level 6:**

* *Wholeness of Body:* You gain the ability to heal yourself. As an action, you can regain hit points equal to three times your monk level. You must finish a long rest before you can use this feature again.

**Level 11:**

* *Tranquility:* Beginning at 11th level, you can enter a special meditation that surrounds you with an aura of peace. At the end of a long rest, you gain the effect of a sanctuary spell that lasts until the start of your next long rest (the spell can end early as normal). The saving throw DC for the spell equals 8 + your Wisdom modifier + your proficiency bonus.
