Way of the Spirit

Monks of the Way of the Spirit focus themselves into the enhancement of their inner being. They seek spiritual perfection to better their mind and even manipulate the world around them to some degree. Those under this tradition enhance their mediation to further decrease the limitations of their ki.

Inflicting Strike

Starting when you choose this tradition at 3rd level, you gain the ability to channel your ki into additional damage. Once every turn, upon hitting an enemy, you may expend 3 points of ki in order to roll 1d4 in psychic damage. Once reaching 6th, 11th, and 17th levels, you may expend an additional point of ki in order to deal an added 1d4 in psychic damage to the same target. The amount of psychic dice must decided before rolling the damage of the original strike.

Spiritual Awareness

Once reaching level 6, you are able to cast detect thoughts and use it normally. You are able to expend ki points in order to increase the duration by one minute per ki point. After the spell is over, you must perform a short rest to cast it again. When you reach level 11, the effects of Detect Thoughts is increased, increasing the range by 5×Your Intelligence Modifier and adding your wisdom modifier to all rolls made with Detect Thoughts.

Conscious Meditation

At level 11, you have mastered the ability of meditative rest, eliminating the need for sleep. Instead of performing long or short rests, you may meditate for half of that time while maintaining all of the effects of the rest. Whilst in this meditative state, you become aware of any danger within 20ft of you, whether physical, magical, or ethereal. If any danger enters within range, you will snap out of your meditation. If the meditation was under four hours but over half of one, only the benefits of a short rest are gained.

Second Self

When you make it to level 17, you obtain the ability to expend all of your ki points, so long as you have at least 8, to create a mystic copy of yourself with the exact same stats and abilities other than hp, which is halved, and spellcasting, which the Second Self cannot do. The second self looks like an exact copy of you, but colored purple and transparent, including the armor, weapons, and items. You control your Second Self as if it was your character, other than that it cannot speak. The Second Self lasts for an hour or until it gets destroyed by losing all of its hp. The Second Self begins with 8 ki points at its disposal. Upon its destruction, any unspent ki points are returned to you. Your Second Self is immune to bleed, poison, sleep, and dispel magic effects. You must complete a long rest before creating another Second Self. You are fully aware of all actions and information taken by your Second Self, even the locations of objects and enemies.
