Way of the Crescent Blades

Users of the Way of the Crescent Blade train relentlessly with their weapons, to the point that the weapon becomes like an extension of the body.  Using luck in their favor, these users can manipulate events to their likings; either for good or bad. 

Path of the Crescent

When you choose this tradition at 3rd level, your special martial arts training leads you to master the use of certain weapons. You gain the following benefits.

Crescent Weapons - You choose alnaji weapons, gain proficiency with them if you don’t already have it, and they are treated as monk weapons.

Agile Parry - If you make an alnaji strike as part of the Attack action on your turn and are holding a alnaji weapon, you gain a +2 bonus to AC until the start of your next turn, while the weapon is in your hand and you aren’t incapacitated.

Jackpot Shot - You can use a bonus action on your turn to make ranged attacks with a alnaji weapon deal an extra 1d4 damage of the weapon’s type until the end of the current turn.

Way of the Smuggler - You gain expertise with sleight of hands (Dexterity).

One with the Blade

At 6th level, you extend your ki into your alnaji weapons, granting you the following benefits.

Sharpen the Blade

At 11th level, you gain the ability to augment your weapons further with your ki. As a bonus action, you can expend up to 3 ki points to grant one alnaji weapon you touch a bonus to attack and damage rolls when you attack with it. The bonus equals the number of ki points you spent. This bonus lasts for 1 minute or until you use this feature again. This feature has no effect on a magic weapon that already has a bonus to attack and damage rolls. Attacks with this feature activated are with advantage.
