Base Class: Monk
"I'm here to protect, no matter what!" - Colin Strymir, the creator of this Monastic Tradition
We see with monks who have used the way of the Four Elements, using everything around them, to focus with power. Yet, they can't exactly master all of them, which then created many branches of the Four Elements Monks. This one, was cultivated by a Colin Strymir, a user who focused solely on these Shockwaves and Air Pressure Blast. With this power in his hands, the ability to generate shockwaves and air pressure waves just from his own body, he helped many others to use this power to protect people.
Pressure Strikes
The user has the ability to concentrate shockwaves into their body, allowing them to change the damage type of their unarmed attacks or Monk Weapon Attacks to Thunder Damage. This can be activated as a free action and at no cost of ki
Unbroken Air Strike
The user fires a powerful air blast from their body towards the target roll a ranged attack and take 1d4 Bludgeoning damage plus your Wisdom Modifier. Have them roll a Strength Save against your Ki DC, if they fail they are knocked back 15 feet or knocked prone (User's Choice)
The blast has a range for 30ft and can be used at any time during your Attack Action for free the first time, after that it's 1 ki point per use. It increases in strength to 1d6 (5th Level), 1d8 (11th Level) and 1d10 (17th Level)
Thunderous Disciplines
When you take this Monastic Tradition at the 6th level. You gain the ability to tap into the Way of the Four Elements' own traditions, however you only take a few, and have attuned to them near perfectly, with a new tradition added, thanks to a powerful strike into the ground.
You gain the Ability to cast:
Thunderwave for 1 Ki point
Earth Tremor for 1 Ki Point
Shatter for 2 Ki Points
Thunder Step For 3 Ki Points
You have the ability to up-cast for any extra amount of ki points according to this chart:
| Spells and Ki Points | |
|---|---|
| Monk Levels | Maximum Ki Points for a Spell |
| 6th-9th | 3 |
| 10th-13th | 5 |
| 14th-17th | 7 |
| 18th-20th | 9 |
Shattering Fist and Shattering Earth
Your body has gotten stronger. More used to your abilities, and you can strike something with the power of a shattering a person or the very earth under your feet
You can cast Erupting Earth, with you being on the edge of the cube, You can do this as much as your proficiency bonus, all recover on a long rest
You can also, as an attack action, use 2 ki points to nail a powerful, shattering blast into the opponent. Take a -5 penalty for attacking, but add 2d8 and +10 Thunder damage to your attack roll. It works similarly to Feats like Great Weapon Master and Sharp Shooter. The 2d8 Increases to 2d10 at 17th Level
Damage Table: 1d8+(Dexterity Modifier)+2d8+10
High Pressure State
At 17th Level, your body has completed it's training, focusing your ki. As a Bonus action, you can enter High Pressure State. Which causes a sudden Shockwave to emanate from your body, pushing anything within 10 feet of you that must succeed a Strength Saving Throw or be knocked prone and take 3d10 Thunder damage, half as much on a successful save, and are not knocked prone.
