Way of Balance

Monks of the Way of Balance use their Ki to both aid and wound. They are pragmatists who can feel the life force flow through the world and are able to manipulate and expend it.

These monks are highly adaptable and can support those around them by channelling their Ki to close wounds as well as augment their offensive capabilities. Ki can also be spent to help them blend into their environment and adapt the environment to their needs.

Subtle Cue

Your deepened understanding of life force allows you to more expertly judge your words. You are also more able to tap into the hidden motives of others. You gain proficiency with persuasion and insight.

Channel Life

You may channel your own life force to fortify others. As a bonus action, you can spend 1 ki point to heal an ally within 30 feet for a number of hit points equal to your martial arts die plus your wisdom modifier.

Shelter From Harm

Your Deep connection to the flow of ki allows you to extend your influence far beyond your body.

At level 3:

You may use 2 ki points to cast:

At level 5:

At level 5 you can spend 2 ki points to cloak your party from notice by casting Pass Without Trace.

At level 11:
