Way of the Honed Element

You follow a monastic tradition that teaches you to hone a single element. When you focus your ki, you can align yourself with the forces of creation and bend an elements to your will, using it as an extension of your body. Members of this tradition dedicate themselves to a single element, honing it to be a perfect extension of their body and mind.

Monks of this tradition can use elemental effects similar to that of spellcasters, but without material or verbal components, but always using somatic components.

Elemental Training/Elemental Manipulation

At 3rd level, you choose one of 4 elements:

• Fire. You gain the ability to start fires with a touch. As an action, you can magically ignite a flammable object you touch with your hand—an object such as a torch, a piece of tinder, or the hem of drapes. You can give yourself advantage on intimidation checks proficiency times per short rest
• Water. You gain the ability to wet or freeze tings with a touch. As an action, you can magically wet a small object you touch with your hand, any object made wet this way, you can also freeze in a small amount of area. You can turn any drink into a poison which gives the drinker one level of exhaustion and the poisoned condition.
• Air. You gain the ability to produce harmless winds in close proximity, you also gain a +5 to movement speed
• Earth. You gain the ability to create small harmless tremors at your feet, you also gain a +1 to AC. You can use your strength modifier instead of dex for our unarmored defense

You also gain the ability to change the damage of your unarmed strikes to a type of damage corresponding to the element you chose

• Fire. Fire, lightning
• Water. Cold, acid
• Air. Force, Thunder
• Earth. Piercing, Slashing

From your monastic training and meditation, you have unlocked a way to utilize the elements a similar way to spellcasters. Every spell you cast requires somatic components, but none require verbal components. Material components are not needed if you wear a gem related to your chosen element costing 150+gp 

Cantrips

You learn two cantrips of your choice from the given Honed Element Monk Spell List. You learn an additional Honed Element cantrip of your choice at level 4,8 to reflect your enhanced mastery over your element.

Spell Slots

The Honed Element Spellcasting table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your spells of 1st level and higher. To cast one of these spells, you must expend a slot of the spell's level or higher. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long rest.

For example, if you know the 1st-level spell Burning Hands and have a 1st-level and a 2nd-level spell slot available, you can cast Burning Hands using either slot.

Spells Known of 1st Level and Higher

You know three 1st-level Honed Element spells of your choice, they must all relate to your chosen element, at DMs discretion.

The Spells Known column of the Honed Element Spellcasting table shows when you learn more Honed Element spells of 1st level or higher. Each of these spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots. For instance, when you reach 7th level in this class, you can learn one new spell of 1st or 2nd level.

Additionally, when you gain a level in this class, you can choose one of the Honed Element spells you know and replace it with another spell from the Honed Element spell list, which also must be of a level for which you have spell slots.

When you reach level 12, you can cast, learn and replace spells higher than the spell slot for your current level by making up the difference in spell slots with ki points(1.5 ki points for every level rounded down) - up to 6th level spell slots

When you reach level 15, you can cast, learn and replace spells higher than the spell slot for your current level by making up the difference in spell slots with ki points(1.5 ki points for every level rounded down) - up to 7th level spell slots

Spellcasting Ability

Wisdom is your spellcasting ability for your Honed Element spells, since you learn your spells through honing your ki and concentration. You use your Wisdom whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your wisdom when setting the saving throw DC for a Honed Elements spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.

Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier

Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier

Elemental Enhancement

Starting at 6th level, when you deal damage of the type associated with your chosen element, add your Wisdom modifier to that damage once per turn. At the same time, you can spend 1 ki point to gain resistance to that damage type for 1 hour - if you were to gain additional resistance to that damage type, by spending 1 more ki point you gain immunity to that damage type for 1 minute. You also gain a new buff based on your chosen element:

• Fire. You can now use your ability to set things on fire in battle, every time you are hit with an attack, the attacker will take proficiency bonus damage if the attack was melee and proficiency bonus -1 fire damage if the attack was ranged
• Water. You have realized imbuing your ki into the water creates a natural medicine you can use. You can use your water to heal hp equal to your martial arts die + your wisdom modifier on you or another creature. This can be done as a bonus action with a range of 10ft. Roll a martial arts die after finishing a short or long rest - this is how many times you can use this feature
• Earth. Your AC is increased by +2 instead of +1. You can now use your rocks to control the battlefield a bit more, allowing you to put more weight into your attacks as well as putting others onto the backfoot - if you attack with your unarmed strikes using your strength modifier, when you hit an enemy, you can make the ground in a 10ftx10ft square around them rough terrain, where they have disadvantage on all attacks they make.  Roll a martial arts die after finishing a short or long rest - this is how many times you can use this feature
• Air. Your unarmed strikes using your elemental damage type can push the attacked target back 5ft if they fail a dexterity saving throw against your spell DC, this can be used once per turn, if it fails, it is not used. When you use your flurry of blows, make 3 attacks instead of two, but the third attack does not include any damage modifiers. You can do 4 attacks with your flurry of blows at level 12, two of the attacks not including any damage modifiers.

Elemental Awakening

At 11th level the concentration of your element begins to emanate off of you, creating differing effects based on your chosen element. As a bonus action, you can create an aura of your chosen element that radiates 20 feet from you for 1 minute. For the duration, you gain the following effects:

• Your allies within your aura can use their bonus action to gain resistance to any damage type listed under your element.

• When you or an ally within your aura is attacked, you can now launch an elemental counterattack against the enemy. When you or one of your allies in the aura is hit by an attack made by another creature within the aura, you can use your reaction to deal an amount of damage of one of your element relevant damage types equal to one roll of your Martial Arts die to the attacker, if the attack is within 5ft of you, you can do an unarmed strike instead.

Once you use this bonus action, you can’t use it again until you finish a short or long rest, unless you expend 4 ki points to use it again.

You gain another element specific ability at this level:

• Fire. You can form temporary writing and other similar level tricks with your fire. You can now use your fire to make a mirage effect on yourself - after doing fire or lightning damage, spend 2 ki points to have all attacks against you at disadvantage, as well as any attack you make on your main action next turn having advantage.

• Water. You can now subtly control water, to form shapes such as snakes, and other similar level effects with your water, your unarmed strikes have a range of 10ft if you have used a bonus action the turn before or on that turn to charge it up.  You can now use your water to freeze parts of your opponents body - whenever you inflict cold damage onto an opponent, if you spend 2 ki points, the opponent is restrained until they make a successful strength saving at the end of each of their turns against a DC of 18 that decreases by 1 every round - an ally can use an action to free them. If you use acid damage, you can spend a ki point and roll a D4.

These weapons also count as unarmed attacks. They use your martial die for damage and your strength modifier for attack/damage modifiers.
