Way of the Waffle House

Monks of the Way of the Waffle House are masters of the art of cooking and serving, using their skills to nourish and heal their allies. These monks often work as chefs in local taverns and Inns, and are known for their ability to cook up a mean plate of waffles.

Waffle House Technique

At 3rd level, you learn two techniques that you can use to aid your allies. 

• Waffle Heal: As a bonus action, you can expend a ki point to restore hit points to an ally within 5 feet of you. The number of hit points restored is equal to your monk level + your Wisdom modifier.
• Waffle Blitz: When using your flurry of blows, you can expend an additional ki point to deal additional damage against a creature within 5 feet of you. The creature must succeed on a dexterity saving throw, or take damage equal to your monk level + your Wisdom modifier, and is also knocked prone. On a failed save the creature takes half as much damage and is not knocked prone.

Improved Technique

When you reach 6th level, when using the Waffle Heal or blitz ability, your proficiency bonus can be added to the number of hit points applied.
