Ability: Divine Reprisal
Level: 18th
Required Class: Monk
Effect: You gain the ability to momentarily channel the divine essence of the gods themselves, allowing you to stand toe-to-toe with them in battle. This power draws from your inner discipline and the teachings of the ancient monks who once challenged the gods.
Divine Reprisal:
Once per long rest, you can use your action to invoke Divine Reprisal for 1 minute. During this time:
-
Godslayer Strikes: Your unarmed strikes become imbued with divine energy. They deal additional force damage equal to your Monk level. On a critical hit, your strike temporarily weakens the target’s connection to its divine power, reducing their AC by 2 until the start of your next turn.
-
Celestial Endurance: You gain resistance to all damage dealt by creatures with the "Celestial" or "Divine" creature type (such as gods, archangels, etc.) for the duration of Divine Reprisal. Additionally, you regain hit points equal to your Wisdom modifier at the start of each of your turns while in this state.
-
Divine Step: You can teleport up to 30 feet as a bonus action without provoking opportunity attacks. When you teleport within 5 feet of a creature of divine nature, you can make an unarmed strike as part of the same bonus action.
-
Unyielding Focus: Your Ki is infused with divine energy, granting you an aura of impenetrable focus. You can spend 1 Ki point to negate the effects of any ability that would force you to become frightened or charmed by a god or celestial creature.
At Higher Levels:
- At 20th level, when you activate Divine Reprisal, you may spend 3 Ki points to instantly deal additional radiant damage equal to twice your Martial Arts die on all creatures within 15 feet of you, regardless of their type.
