Monk
Base Class: Monk

Originating from rough and inhospitable mountains deep in the wilderness, monks of the Mountain Fist tradition excel at breathtaking displays of sheer power. Their monasteries tend to be reclusive, but not secretive, looking only to admit the worthy who were able to make it to the remote location where they were situated.

Being a hard, external style, the martial arts of the Mountain Fist tradition focus primarily on honing and strengthening the body through strenuous training in harsh conditions at high altitudes. The strict daily regimens of temples of the Mountain Fist tradition produces great discipline and confidence in those able to adhere to it. This focus often carries over to other areas of their work and career.

Though not usually the adventurous sort, it would be no large stretch of the imagination to think a monk of the tradition would wish to venture out of their monastery and test themselves against ever greater challenges. Indeed, many have done so, and have left indelible mark on history.

You've honed your physique to an incredible degree, gaining immense density and tone. Your Unarmored Defense is now equal to 10+Dexterity Modifier+Strength Modifier.

Mountain Vigor

Your rigorous training has tapped into a hidden vitality, letting you count as one size larger when determining your Push, Drag, Lift, and Carry weights, and giving you advantage on Constitution ability checks. You’re also acclimated to high altitude, including elevations above 20,000 feet.

Granite Fists

Your fists have become hardened through brutal training, and with the precision and focus this training has given you your strikes have become as hard as stone. Your unarmed attacks deal double damage to non-magical unattended objects and structures.

Brutal Flurry

Your speed is almost effortless now, allowing you to strike with the velocity and force of an landslide. Once a turn, you can re-roll one damage die of a Flurry of Blows attack and take either roll.

Mountain-Carving Strike

Your countless hours of difficult practice have honed your senses beyond what most mortals can achieve. You gain the ability to deliver a lethal one-hit attack with incredible speed and precision. You can spend 7 ki points to make this attack with an action. When you use this action, the creature must make a Constitution save, and is killed automatically if it is below Strength modifier times Monk level hit points if it fails. On a success, it is Paralyzed until the end of your turn.
