While attuned:
You gain resistance to fire damage.
When you use Patient Defense, any creature that hits you with a melee attack before the start of your next turn takes fire damage equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum 1).
Vow of the Embers
The fire that took your past fuels your present. When you reduce a creature to 0 hit points with an unarmed strike or monk weapon:
You may choose to mark that space with an Ember Sigil (no action required).
As a bonus action on a future turn, you can detonate all active Ember Sigils within 30 feet, dealing 2d6 fire damage (Dex save DC = 8 + Prof. Bonus + Wis Mod) to each creature within 10 feet of a sigil. The sigils fade after 1 minute or after detonation.
You can have a number of active sigils equal to your Wisdom modifier.
Ashen Retaliation (1/short rest)
When you are reduced to 0 HP but not killed outright, you may immediately spend 3 ki points to remain standing at 1 HP. If you do:
All enemies within 10 feet must make a Dexterity saving throw (DC = 8 + Prof. Bonus + Wis Mod) or take 4d6 fire damage and be knocked prone.
On a success, they take half damage and are not knocked prone.
Your body erupts in a brief halo of flame shaped like burning prayer flags, then dies down to flickering embers along your skin.
Notes: Resistance: Fire, This is a thick, scorched leather belt, cracked and blackened as if pulled from a fire — yet it is warm to the touch and never decays. Etched in its surface, barely visible among the burn marks, are the names of your lost family and comrades, written in Dwarvish script with ink made from ash and blood. The belt hums faintly when you meditate, pulsing with the rhythm of a forgotten chant. It is a symbol — not of strength, but of a promise: never again. Burning Stillness Your resolve hardens in the heart of chaos.
