Monks of the Way of the Ripple harness the power of the Sun through their bodies to enhance their physical and mental capabilities. They can use their ki to deal more damage, heal themselves and others and push body and mind beyond their limits.

Overdrive

When you choose this tradition at 3rd level, you learn how to use your ki as a weapon. You can spend ki points to send a ripple into a creature or object. You can spend up to 3 ki points to enhance a weapon attack. Each ki point spent ads 2d6 radiant damage to your attack, or 2d8 if the target is undead.

Replenishing Breath

Also at 3rd level, you gain the ability to regain some of your expended ki. You can use a bonus action to regain 1 ki point. You can regain a number of ki points equal to your monk level divided by 3 per long rest

Life Ripple

Starting at 6th level, you can use your control over the ripple to allow bodies to mend wounds quickly. You can spend 2 or more ki points to heal 1d6 per ki point used plus your wisdom modifier. This ability does not work on constructs of undead.  

Harmonic Movement

At 11th you master the flow of energy inside your body. As long as you have at least 1 ki point remaining, you can activate the effects of spider climb and water walk on yourself at will as well as ignore difficult terrain.

Hermit Insight

At 17th level, you learn how to use the ripple to temporarily gleam into the future. As a bonus action you can spend 3 ki points to gain the effects of the spell foresight for 1 minute as well as a bonus +2 to your AC.
