Monk
Base Class: Monk

Initiates of the Sacred Inks spend years practicing celestial calligraphy. Once they are ready, the Monks ceremonially mark their bodies with increasingly complex celestial tattoos, granting them access to divine power. As the Monk's spiritual connection to the divine grows, so does the beauty of their celestial tattoo.

Celestial Artist

You have been taught the techniques of a celestial tattoo artist. You learn to speak, read, and write in Celestial. Though most most Monks will refuse to speak Celestial out loud out of reverence for the divine. In addition, you gain proficiency with calligrapher's supplies, and whenever you make a check with calligrapher's supplies you add double your proficiency bonus to your roll.

Divine Conduit

Your celestial tattoos allow you to channel the radiant power of the upper planes. You gain the features listed below:

  • Whenever you spend a Hit Die to regain your hit points during a short rest you can spend 1 Ki Point to regain the maximum amount of hit points, in place of rolling.
  • When you hit a target with a Martial Arts attack you can spend Ki Points (up to half your proficiency bonus) to deal additional radiant damage to the target equal to one roll of your Martial Arts die per Ki Point spent.
  • As an action you can touch a creature and spend 2 Ki Points to restore a number of its hit points equal to one roll of your Martial Arts die + your Wisdom modifier.

Sacred Ink Techniques

You learn certain Techniques at the levels noted in the table below. They don't count against your number of Techniques Known and they cannot be switched upon gaining a level.

Heavenly Protection

Both your connection to the divine and the complexity of your celestial tattoos has increased, granting you a divine blessing that protects you from death. When you are reduced to 0 hit points, you can choose to fall to 1 hit point instead.

Once you use this feature you must finish a long rest before you can use it again.

Light of the Heavens

As a bonus action, you can unveil the divine light of your celestial tattoos and cause them to emit bright sunlight in a 10-foot radius for 1 minute. While your tattoos are revealed, you add your Wisdom modifier to hit points you restore and radiant damage you deal with Divine Conduit.

This feature ends early if you are incapacitated or if you use a bonus action on your turn to end it. Once you use this feature you must finish a short or long rest before you can unveil your celestial tattoos in this way again.

Master of the Sacred Inks

You are a sanctified master of the Sacred Inks, and your tattoos are a direct reflection of divine beauty. As an action, you can draw out the power of your tattoos to take on an angelic form for 1 minute, granting you the benefits below.

  • Your tattoos manifest angelic wings. You gain a flying speed equal to your walking speed and can hover.
  • When you hit a creature with an unarmed strike you can choose to deal radiant damage instead of bludgeoning.
  • You gain all the benefits of Light of the Heavens.

Once you use this feature you must complete a long rest before you can use it again. If you have no uses remaining you can spend 5 Ki Points to use this feature again.
