Way of the Faerie

A monk following the Way of the Faerie pursues the natural mystic of the fae, homing their bodies to match the fae’s illusive magics and and cunning tricks. It’s traditions are drawn from fae beings that inhabit the faewild and their abilities mimicked as closely as possible. These are some of the beings that their traditions are taken from:

Changeling- The changeling tradition is a constant trial of flexibility and fluidity it emphasizes continuous change and deception. Those who travel this path release themselves of the confines of their “natural” forms and opt to become one with everything and everything in one.

Blink Dog- The blink dog tradition is one based in movement, sharp and quick witted they shift themselves to and fro as if it’s second nature, walking through space to attack or evade their enemies. Their keen sense allow them to travel safely through blinks.

Killoren- The killoren tradition is based on the three forces of nature killoren typically call upon, boosting their knowledge, strength, and senses by mimicking the behaviors of killoren while in these states the annihilate their enemies and safeguard their homes.

Redcap- The redcap tradition is savage and cruel especially on the battlefield they feed on the death of their opponents gaining strength and speed with every kill until they are a whirlwind of death and violence in combat

This die changes to a d8 at 5th level; a d10 at 11th level; and a d12 at 17th level. This increased damage can only be applied to an unarmed strike, and not to a monk weapon.
