Way of the Arcane

Monks of the Way of the Arcane learn to harness the elements of Weave within them to defend themselves against magic. Monks are taught the development of their tradition started in Thay. Constantly at the mercy of the mighty Red Wizards, the monks with even the weakest connection to magic began to hone their relationship with themselves and the Weave. The monks who devote their lives to this tradition become powerful deterrents to any mage with malign designs.

 

Spellcasting

You gain the ability to cast spells. You may select spells from the Sorcerer spell list.

Repel Spell

You have gained an understanding of the Weave and how it interacts with the physical plane. You now know how to repel magics that would be used against you. You now have the ability to:

Repel Spell: Using your reaction, you may repel a spell (that uses a ranged or touch attack roll) that targets you or a creature or space within half of your movement speed for a Ki Point.

 

 

Projected Strikes

You are able to use your essence to extend your strikes, sensing strands of Weave to create spectral limbs to attack your target. Your projected strikes attack at a range from 80ft and deal force damage instead of bludgeoning.

Using this feature costs two Ki Points.

 

 

Arcane Aegis

The threat of evil mages made those of your monastic tradition learn to protect themselves from magical influence, thus evening the playing field. You now gain the following:

• You have advantage on spell saving throws.
• When you take damage from a spell, you gain resistance from damage from that spell type.
• You can no longer be put to sleep through magical means.

Arcane Siphon

Through intense training, you are able to connect your life essence to the well of Weave within you. This ebbing connection between your life essence and the Weave allows you to consume spell attacks and turn them into Ki points.

Arcane Siphon: You can use your reaction to make a save against the caster's spell save DC to absorb a spell using an attack roll and convert it into Ki Points. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your wisdom modifier + proficiency bonus per long rest.
