Way of the Magic Hand

Monks of the Way of the Magic Hand pummel their enemies with a barrage of magical fists. By focusing their ki they can form magical fists which allow them to attack enemies from a distance. They learn techniques that use these hands to disorient and beat down their enemies and defend themselves from incoming damage. These monks tend to be hot headed and charge headlong into battle.

Spell attack modifier: Wisdom modifier + Proficiency bonus

Spell Save DC = Ki Save DC

When you cast the mage hand cantrip you can spend 2 ki points to summon two hands instead of one.

When you summon mage hands in this way they gain the following abilities:

• Your mage hands can make attacks: make a melee spell attack, range: 30 ft. on hit deal your martial arts die + your wisdom modifier force damage.  
• Your mage hands can carry as much weight as you can. 
• Your mage hands have AC equal to your AC and 1 HP if they drop to 0 HP they disappear and can be reformed using 1 ki point as a bonus action on your next turn. 
• When you have 1-2 mage hands active you can make a mage hand strike when you use your attack action to make unarmed strike attack on your turn. When you have 3-4 hands active you can make 2 mage hand strikes per unarmed strike attack. When you have 5-6 hands active you can make 3 mage hand strikes per unarmed strike attack. These attacks count as part of your attack action. Your mage hands must be within 10 feet of you to use this ability.
