Radiant Strike

When you hit with an unarmed strike or monk weapon, you may expend 2 ki points to deal radiant damage equal to one roll of your martial arts die. This damage increases by one roll for each additional ki point you spend. You may spend up to 6 ki in this way per turn.

At 5th level, you may spend 2 ki points to cause the target to have disadvantage on the next ability check, attack roll, or saving throw it makes.

Rally Soul

Your innately exalted spirit becomes a rallying force, causing your words and actions to radiate a compelling aura of inspiration and enlightenment. As a bonus action, you may spend one Ki point to add your Wisdom modifier to one Charisma (Persuasion, Performance, or Intimidation) check that adds your proficiency bonus.

Celestial Presence

At 6th level, you can choose to channel your soul into your allies, empowering them. When you roll initiative, you may choose to activate your Celestial Presence. While active, this feature grants a number of allies up to your proficiency bonus a bonus to saving throws equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum of +1). Additionally, any creature under the influence of your Celestial Presence are immune to being Charmed or Frightened. This lasts for 10 minutes, or until you dismiss it as a bonus action.

Exalted Invokations

At 11th level, you gain the ability to channel your soul to give yourself access to certain spells. Upon reaching 11th level, choose three spells from the Paladin spell list to learn, each with a maximum level of 3. Wisdom is your spellcasting ability for them, and you may cast each of them at their lowest level by spending a number of ki points equal to the spell's level. At the end of a long rest, you may exchange one of these spells with another spell from the Paladin spell list, with the same restrictions.

At 17th level, you learn one additional spell from the paladin spell list. Its level can be up to 5. Additionally, you may upcast any spells you learned with this feature by expending additional ki points, to a maximum of 5 total per spell.

Improved Celestial Presence

At 17th level, you have begun to embody the divinity of a god. You may use your Celestial Presence feature a number of times equal to your wisdom modifier (minimum of thrice). You regain all uses after a short rest. When you activate your Celestial Presence feature, if your unarmored defense feature is active, your armor class increases by an amount equal to your proficiency bonus. Additionally, the first attack any creature affected by your Celestial Presence makes on its turn deals additional radiant damage equal to one roll of your martial arts die.
