Iv edit a question. So I play as an Aarocrockra monk in a game, and I have fallen in love with my ability to hide. I have a +5 to stealth and advantage. However, I always kill my opponent, and then am left vulnerable due to a really bad constitution score, resulting in bad hit points. Is there any magic items that would let me hide as a bonus action?
As mentioned, rogues can use a bonus action to hide at level 2. It is one of the more popular monk multiclasses since they can hide, dash and disengage as a bonHowever, I don't see that being very useful for a monk. Hiding requires that you have something to hide behind, or in, or be invisible. If you are in the middle of a melee the odds are good that you won't be able to hide at all.
Also, I am guessing that you have a cloak of elvenkind since I don't know of another way to get advantage on hide checks.
Anyway, I have two suggestions ..
1) Try to find an Amulet of Health which sets your constitution to 19. This would probably mitigate the hit point issue.
2) Use your bonus action and 1 ki point to dodge. (Patient defence). This feature was designed to help the monk survive in melee. Alternatively use a ki point to disengage if surrounded.
Rogue's can use Hide and a few other things as bonus actions, so you could try that, but if the problem is that you dont want to be taking as much damage, or aren't able to take as much damage you could try a couple things:
1. Magic items that give damage resistances
2. Magic items that increase AC (I.E: Ring of Protection or Defender, these won't conflict with your unarmored defense either)
3. Magic items or other effects that increase your health. This could include the Tough feat, getting ability score increases as you go on, etc. There are also some magic items that increase your constitution, so check those out.

No items that I am aware of. Some classes gain the ability, notably rogues at level 2.
