The Way of the Chaotic Flame Class for Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) Fifth Edition (5e)

Base Class: Monk

The monks of Way of the Chaotic Flame forgo learning how to harness their Ki for specifc techniques and instead opt to focus solely on growing the raw power of their life force allowing the whims of chaos to decide the form their ki erupts into. Some of these monks have harnessed their skills within the plane of limbo while others have studied under the tutelege of an Archfey, some are the descendants of powerful monks who have had no guidance in how to harness their raw ki.

The followers of this way whether conciously or not abhor stagnation and seek to bring change whereever they go.

Chaotic Flame Surge

Starting when you choose this tradition at 3rd level, your ki can unleash surges of untamed magic in the form of a wild and every changing fire. Once per turn, the DM can have you roll a d20 immediately after you expend a ki point. If you roll a 1, roll on the Chaotic Flame Surge to create a magical effect. If that effect is a spell and it normally requires concentration, it doesn’t require concentration in this case; the spell lasts for its full duration.

Embers of Chaos

Starting at 3rd level, you can manipulate the forces of chance and chaos to gain advantage on one attack roll, ability check, or saving throw. Once you do so, you must finish a long rest before you can use this feature again.

Any time before you regain the use of this feature, the DM can have you roll on the Chaotic flame Surge table immediately after you expend one or more Ki points. You then regain the use of this feature.

Charring Chance

Starting at 6th level, you have the ability to twist fate using your Chaotic Flame. When another creature you can see makes an attack roll, an ability check, or a saving throw, you can use your reaction and spend 2 Ki points to roll 1d4 and apply the number rolled as a bonus or penalty (your choice) to the creature’s roll. You can do so after the creature rolls but before any effects of the roll occur.

Devouring Odds

At 11th level, you gain a modicum of control over the surges of your Chaotic Flame. Whenever you roll on the Chaotic Flame Surge table, you can roll twice and use either number.

Chaotic Inferno

Beginning at 17th level, you master the full offensive potential of your Ki. When you roll damage for a spell and roll the highest number possible on any of the dice, choose one of those dice, roll it again and add that roll to the damage additionally when you hit a creature with an attack that uses your martial arts die, you can reroll one of the attack’s damage dice, and you must use the new roll.

You can use each of this features once per turn.
