A monastic tradition focusing on using the fluffiness of certain races' fur to the monk's advantage.

Way of the Fluff

Taking up this monastic tradition, you train in the way of the fluff, learning to use your fluffiness to your advantage. You gain Fluff Charges equal to your proficiency bonus, and regain all spent charges on a short rest. In addition, you gain the following feature:

-Static Fluff
Your fluff can add static shocks to your melee attacks. By spending a Fluff charge, you can add 1 martial arts die of lightning damage to your melee attacks. This effect lasts for a number of rounds equal to 1 + your Wisdom modifier (Minimum of 1).

Warm Fluff

Your fluff can keep you warm. You ignore the need to wear winter clothing in cold climates and extreme cold temperatures.

Fluff Ball

As a reaction, when you are hit with an attack, breath, effect or spell that deals damage to you, you can cause your fluff to puff out, causing you to take half the damage you had originally taken from a single instance of damage.

Static Absorb/Release

Your fluff can now absorb a partial amount of any lightning damage you take. When you gain this feature, you gain resistance to lightning damage, and any time you take lightning damage you gain a Static Charge, of which you can hold a max of three of at a time. You can use these static charges in 3 ways:

1 Static Charge: 

You can spend 1 Static Charge to give your attacks a bonus lightning damage equal to your proficiency bonus until the end of your next turn.

2 Static Charges: 

When you hit a target with a melee attack, you can spend 2 static charges to cause the target and creatures within 5ft of your choice to make a Constitution saving throw of 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier. Upon a failure, they are paralyzed till the end of your next turn.

3 Static charges: 

You can release a powerful blast of lightning gathered by your fluff, by spending three Static Charges. Choose a point within 100 ft, and create a burst of energy in a 30 ft radius sphere. Anything in that sphere needs to pass a Dexterity saving throw of 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier, taking 8d6 lightning damage, half as much on a success.
