Monk
Base Class: Monk

The Feywild holds tremendous power for those willing to train to harness it, and the monks who follow the Way of the Faerie Dragon follow such a discipline. Seeking to emulate the unpredictable nature of the Feywild, they aligned themselves with one of the more humble of faerie creatures: the faerie dragon. From these creatures, they have learned to take on fey glamour and manipulate emotions through their touch.

Fey Teachings

At 3rd level, the teachings of the tradition grant you insight. You learn to speak, read, and write Draconic and Sylvan. In addition, you learn the dancing lights and minor illusion cantrips. Wisdom is your spellcasting ability modifier for these spells.

Dazzling

Also at 3rd level, your appearance takes on a sparkling faerie countenance, supernaturally augmenting your presence and marking you as a student of the fey. Choose a mark from the Dazzling Appearance table, or roll randomly.

Dazzling Appearance
d6 Mark
1 You develop patches of iridescent scales across your skin.
2 Your hair glimmers, throwing off light like that of a prism.
3 Your eyes glow with fey light or appear to be solid jewels.
4 When viewed in front of a light source, you appear partially translucent.
5 Shifting patterns of colour move across your skin like vibrant, fluid tattoos.
6 Butterflies and moths accompany you everywhere, and can always be seen nearby.

You can add your Wisdom modifier to Charisma checks you make as long as the target of the check can see you. In addition, when you are hit by an attack, you can use your reaction to spend 1 ki point and force the attacker to make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failure, the attacker cannot hit you and must repeat the attack against a different target in range or the attack is wasted.

Euphoric Strike

When you reach 6th level, you can channel the euphoric power of a faerie dragon’s breath through your touch. When you touch a creature, including through an unarmed attack, you can spend 1 ki point to force the target to make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failure, it is charmed by you for 10 minutes.

While charmed in this way, the creature is in a state of bliss. It does not take any violent action while charmed, and regards you as a trusted friend. The charmed condition ends early if the creature takes any damage.

Once you use this feature, you cannot use it again until you finish a short or long rest.

Magic of the Faerie

Also at 6th level, your ki can manifest magical effects also utilised by faerie dragons. You can spend 2 ki points to cast calm emotions or suggestion, or 3 ki points to cast major image. Wisdom is your spellcasting ability modifier for these spells.

Twisting Dance

At 11th level, you learn to enter a stance that channels the twisting, wild nature of the Feywild. As an action, you can enter a twisting dance until the start of your next turn.

While in this dance, you can take a reaction every turn instead of every round, but the only reaction you can take is to make an opportunity attack. Additionally, enemies provoke opportunity attacks from you when they miss you with an attack, or when they move into your reach.

Furthermore, after you hit with an opportunity attack, you can teleport 5 feet as part of the reaction.

Rainbow Scales

By 17th level, you have learned to fully tap into the shifting, vibrant power of the faerie. As a bonus action, you can spend 4 ki points to gain a faerie aspect for 1 minute or until you are reduced to 0 hit points. While this effect is active, you gain the following benefits:

  • Spectral butterfly wings appear at your back, giving you a flying speed equal to your walking speed.
  • You have advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects.
  • Once per turn, when you hit with an unarmed strike, you can deal additional psychic damage equal to your Martial Arts die.
  • At the end of each of your turns, you can choose to become invisible until the start of your next turn and teleport to an unoccupied space within 20 feet of you.
