Base Class: Monk
Way of the Rose
One of several flower-themed monastic traditions
practiced in the Feywild, the Way of the Rose
emphasizes the importance of love and compassion
in all things. Although the monastery is closely
associated with the Rose Court, all are welcome to
join, including human visitors from the Material
Plane.
SWEET AROMA
Starting when you choose this tradition at 3rd level,
your spirit has taken on a floral aspect, causing you
to smell of roses at all times. You have advantage
on Charisma (Persuasion) checks relating to love
or romance. Furthermore, creatures with the Keen
Smell trait (or similar abilities) have disadvantage on
ability checks made to track you.
BLOSSOM BURST
At 3rd level, once on each of your turns when you
hit a creature with an unarmed strike, you can spend
1 ki point to produce a vibrant eruption of flower
petals which obscures the target's vision. Until the
end of the target's next turn, it can see out to 5 feet
but is blind beyond this radius. The flower petals
follow the creature when it moves unless the creature
takes the Dash action or moves more than 40 feet on
its turn,
FALLING PETAL FLURRY
At 6th level, you can perform a special technique
that allows you to disappear in a blizzard of rose
petals. Whenever you use your Flurry of Blows, you
can spend 1 additional ki point to teleport up to 10
feet in any direction. This movement can take place
before, during, or after the attacks, but can't be split
into two moves.
COLORS OF LOVE
By 11th level, you can manifest the love represented
by the rose in a faintly glowing aura. When you
finish a long rest, choose one of the following auras,
which lasts until you use this feature to choose a
different one. The aura radiates 5 feet from you.
PINK. The color of gratitude, attuning to the
pink rose turns a good deed into its own reward. You
can use the Help action as a bonus action to assist an
ally within your aura.
RED. The color of desire, attuning to the red rose
fills you with burning passion. A friendly creature
other than you within the aura can use its bonus
action when it hits with an attack to deal an extra
1d6 damage.
WHITE. The color of purity, attuning to the
white rose aligns your ki with the heavens. When a
friendly creature other than you ends its turn within
your aura, it gains temporary hit points equal to your
Wisdom modifier.
WREATHED IN THORNS
Once you reach 17th level, you distract your foes
with your stunning beauty and bouquets of flowers,
opening them up to lightning-quick counterattacks.
When you take damage from a creature you can
see within 5 feet of you, you can spend 1 ki point as
a reaction to make an unarmed strike against that
creature.
