The Way of Chaos Class for Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) Fifth Edition (5e)

Base Class: Monk

Monks following the Way of Chaos learn to bend the probability of the world to their whim. Using a modified Wild Magic Surge table, the Way of Chaos allows the player to harness chaos as a weapon against all those who stand before it.

Entropic Ki

Starting when you choose this tradition at 3rd level, you begin embracing the chaos of all around you. Whenever you spend ki on an action, the DM can have you roll a d20. If you roll a number less than or equal to the number of ki points spent, roll on the Wild Magic Surge table to create a random magical effect, using your wisdom as your spellcasting modifier. You also gain Arcana proficiency upon selecting this tradition as the universe begins to flood your mind with knowledge of the uncertain.

Regression Towards the Mean

Starting at 3rd level, you gain a grasp of simple luck control. You can give yourself advantage on one attack, ability check, or saving throw once per long rest.
Any time before you regain the use of this feature, the DM can have you roll on the Wild Magic Surge table immediately after use a monk action spending one or more ki points. You then regain the use of this feature.

Fortune's Favor

At level 6, you gain the ability to protect yourself with the randomness of the world around you. Once per short rest, you can roll your martial arts dice, taking the result and adding your spellcasting modifier as temporary hitpoints.

Any time before you regain the use of this feature, the DM can have you roll on the Wild Magic Surge table immediately after use a monk action spending one or more ki points. You then regain the use of this feature.

Wild Magic Surge

Starting when you choose this tradition at 1st level, your spellcasting can unleash surges of untamed magic. Once per turn, the DM can have you roll a d20 immediately after you cast a sorcerer spell of 1st level or higher. If you roll a 1, roll on the Wild Magic Surge table to create a magical effect. If that effect is a spell, and if it normally requires concentration, it doesn’t require concentration in this case; the spell lasts for its full duration.

Order Through Chaos

Beginning at 11th level, when you roll on the Wild Magic Surge table, you roll two dice, and may select the result of either.

One With Pandemonium

At 17th level, you have found harmony with the infinite dissonance of the world. When you make contact with an enemy, you can spend 3 ki points, not rolling for Wild Magic Surge, to force the target to make a dexterity saving throw with disadvantage, using your bonus action. If they succeed, they roll for Wild Magic Surge for every action they take for the next hour, failing on a result of 5 or lower. If they fail the saving throw, they roll with disadvantage. If they fail the Wild Magic Surge check, you roll twice on the Wild Magic Surge table, and select the result to happen to them. You can use this ability once per short rest.
