Base Class: Monk
Time is like a flowing river. Everything is changing, nothing is constant and the impermanence causes beauty and suffering. These truths are reflected in the fighting style of the Monks of the Way of the Waterflow. Their movements and attacks flow like the river, sometimes gentle and sometimes not but everchanging. For monks who chose this path, enlightenment lies not fighting upstream, but in embracing and understanding this flux. In combat, they are most recognised for their speed and their ability to effortlessly redirect energy like that of the flowing water.

Redirect Attack
Starting when you choose this tradition at 3rd level, you learn to redirect your enemy's attacks. When an enemy hits you, or an ally within 5ft of you, with an attack you can use your reaction to change the target of the attack.
Hit like the Tsunami
Starting at 6th level, if you move at least 20 ft. towards a target and then hit it with an unarmed attack or monk weapon on the same turn, the target takes extra bludgeoning damage equal to your martial arts die.
Spin like the Whirlpool
Beginning at 6th level, you can use a ki point to take your action to make melee attacks against any number of creatures within 5 ft. of you, using a single attack roll for all targets. You can spend an additional 1 Ki point per extra target beyond 2.
At 11th level this increases to 1 ki point per extra target beyond 3.
As the Gentle Wave
At 11th level, you gain the ability to use ki to heal your allies. If you use your action to attack, as a bonus action you can use 1 ki point to heal an ally up to the amount of damage you did with your attack action.
Flow like the River
From 17th level, your movements become fluid and like that of the water. You can use disengage as a free action and, as a bonus action, you can use up to 6 ki points to teleport up to 60ft away. (1 ki point = 10ft ect.)
