Project Aurora Way of the Storm

Monks of the Way of the Storm seek to bring the storm’s wrath down on their enemies. Wreathing themselves in storm clouds, their strikes send enemies flying and they can call down thunder clouds to obscure the battlefield.

Thunderous Self

3rd-level Way of the Storm feature

Your connection to the storm allows you to incorporate its power into your physical form. As a bonus action, you can spend 1 ki point to assume a thunderous form. For 10 minutes, your body is wreathed in roiling thunder clouds. The form ends early if you are incapacitated or die. While in this form, you gain the following benefits:

• You gain a fly speed equal to your walking speed that lasts until the end of your turn.
• The area in a 15-foot radius around you is difficult terrain.
• When you hit a creature with an unarmed strike, you can push them back 5 feet.
