Monk
Base Class: Monk

Most Monk's believe that true strength and enlightenment are found in the unification of body and mind. However, Monk's of the Monastery of Shattered Glass take this belief to the next level; they allow their own Ki to fragment and break their minds, forming Mind-Fragments.  Through aligning and unifying these fragments with their body, soul and their spirit, Monks of Shattered Glass achieve a unique kind true strength.

Shattered Mind

At 3rd level, you embrace the destructive, life-giving force of Ki, allowing it to naturally flow through your mind, dividing and infusing your cognition.

Your mind splits into 2 "Fragments" which grant you unique abilities, choosing from the list below.

  • Chaos Fragment: The rough, rapid formation of this Fragment caused it to be thorny and unpredictable. Whenever a spell or ability attempts to exert control over or touch your mind, you can spend 1 Ki point to roll a d6. On a roll of 2-5, using your reaction you can negate the effects of the spell or ability. On a roll of 6, you can additionally rip at the mind of the Caster or user, dealing 1d8 psychic damage.
  • Peace Fragment: This Fragment was formed through your Ki gently eroding your cognition over time, leaving it smooth and calming. You have advantage on saving throws against being Charmed, Frightened and Stunned.
  • Peripheral Fragment: Drifting away immediately after its formation, this Fragment focuses on the dangers that lie on the very edge of your perception. Whenever you spend 1 Ki point or more in a round, you gain an additional reaction in that round.
  • Conducive Fragment: Formed in tandem with others, Monk's with this Fragment seek to help others rather than empower themselves. Spending 1 Ki point, you can use your reaction to give advantage to an ally within the range of your movement speed.
  • Studious Fragment: This Fragment analyses information and details, speeding up your learning process. You gain proficiency in a tool and skill of your choice, or alternatively can get expertise in a skill you are already proficient in.
  • Parallel Fragment: Constantly striving to  streamline your thoughts and actions, this fragment was formed in the space between others. After spending 1 Ki point to perform Flurry of blows, you can take the dodge or disengage action as part of the same bonus action.

Moulded Fracture

At 6th level, your Mind-Fragments work smoothly and efficiently together, furthering your path to enlightenment. You gain proficiency on Wisdom Saving throws, and in addition, any wisdom saving throw made by an ally within 5 ft of you has a bonus equal to your wisdom modifier added to it.

Minds over Matter

Your mind Fragments have grown and developed, and in accordance with the cycle of your Monastic tradition, you have allowed your Ki to fragment them further. You gain another mind fragment, choosing from the list above. You cannot take the same Fragment twice.

 

Unified Mosaic

Your mind is broken, but it is also whole. It is shattered, but also beautiful. As one who understands this, you see that even the ki you once used isn't gone, but rather broken into much smaller fragments, fragments that you can still use.

Using an action, you can open yourself up to the residual Ki of the world, calling to it and unifying it. You regain 2d4 Ki points. Residual fragments of Ki then cling to your fists, causing them to deal an addition martial arts die of psychic damage per unarmed strike.
