Way of the Wick Monk

Bonus Proficiencies
3rd-level Way of the Wick feature

You become proficient with a specialized set of gauntlets known as Melt Gloves. While not technically a weapon, theyallow you make unarmed strikes as normal. If you are wielding a pair of them, they do not count as armor and you do not lose the benefits of Unarmored Defense. These gauntlets enable a variety of other Way of the Wick features.

Melt Gloves

A set of lightly enchanted leather gloves covered in armor plating commonly used by Way of the Wick Monks. The wrist and palm feature an arcane heat source which is fed by a reservoir of wax, the result of which is channeled down the fingers via grooves in the gauntlets to claw-like fingertips. The wearer can control the level of heat to produce wax that ranges between severely burning to pleasurably warm.

Smoldering Ignition
3rd-level Way of the Wick feature

You can channel your essence into strikes with your Melt Gloves. While wielding them, you gain the following benefits:

• Singeing Strike. At the end of your turn, you may add 1 Pain to any creature you hit with 2 or more unarmed attacks this turn.

• Searing Brand. When you hit with a melee attack using Melt Gloves, you may spend 1 ki point to leave a burning wax seal on their skin. When you do so the target is considered branded by you, and they gain 1 Pain.

• Erupting Strike. As a bonus action, you may spend 1 ki point to erupt your brand into an inferno, exploiting their suffering. When you do so, remove your brand and deal 1d6 fire damage for each Pain point that creature has. The target then removes all of their Pain points. Double the amount of damage dice rolled for this effect after you reach 14th level in this class.

Boiling Form
