The Way of the Amorphous Fist

Monks who follow the Way of the Amorphous Fist have perfected the art of fluid transformation, gaining the ability to mold their bodies into liquid-like forms. This grants them unparalleled versatility in combat, allowing them to extend their limbs far beyond normal reach, manipulate the battlefield, and resist incoming attacks. Their bodies become flexible, flowing between solid and fluid states, enabling them to absorb and deflect projectiles, withstand physical harm, and strike enemies from a distance. Over time, they learn to control powerful electrical energies, infusing their attacks with lightning. As they advance, these monks become forces of nature, able to grow colossal limbs to crush enemies, all while remaining amorphous and fluid.

Amorphous Form

At 3rd level, as a bonus action, you can spend 1 ki point to make your body fluid for 1 minute. While fluid, you gain the following benefits:

• Damage Resistance: You gain resistance to bludgeoning, slashing, and piercing damage from nonmagical attacks.  
•  Amorphous Extension: Your reach for unarmed strikes and grappling increases by 15 feet. However, attacks made with this extended reach have disadvantage.
• Projectile Deflection: When you use Deflect Missiles, you can spend 1 additional ki point to reflect the projectile back at the attacker. Additionally, if an enemy makes a melee attack against you while this feature is active, you can spend 1 ki point to reflect the attack back at the attacker. The attacker must make a Dexterity saving throw (DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Dexterity modifier). On a failed save, they take damage equal to your Martial Arts die + your Dexterity modifier. On a successful save, they take half damage.

• Special Note: You can use this ability once per short rest without spending a ki point.

Wrathful Surge

At 3 level, your anger and determination fuel a powerful surge of energy that you can channel through your amorphous form. When you hit with an unarmed strike, you can spend 1 ki point to unleash a *Wrathful Surge*. The target takes an additional 1d6 force damage as your fluid form lashes out with extra force. Additionally, your reach increases by 5 feet for this attack, representing the momentary extension of your amorphous limbs. 

The target must make a Dexterity saving throw. The saving throw DC is 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier.

On a failed save, the target takes additional force damage based on your monk level:

• 3rd level: 1d6 force damage
• 6th level: 2d6 force damage
• 11th level: 3d6 force damage
• 17th level: 4d6 force damage

On a successful save, the target takes no additional damage.

Scaling Effects:

• At 11th level, if the target fails the save, it is knocked prone.
• At 17th level, the target takes half damage on a successful save instead of none.

Bonus: If this attack reduces the target to 0 hit points, you regain the ki point spent. You can use this ability a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum of 1) per long rest.

Fluid Motion

Your fluid nature increases your agility and speed. Starting at 3rd level, you gain the Mobile feat:

• Your speed increases by 10 feet.
• When you use the Dash action, difficult terrain doesn’t cost you extra movement, allowing you to move freely over obstacles.

Plasmoid Resilience

Your body reacts to incoming elemental forces, shifting its consistency to absorb energy. If fire blazes toward you, your body cools and hardens, reducing the flames to embers against your skin. If lightning crackles through the air, your body pulses with electricity but disperses it harmlessly.
