Way of Lightning

 

The monk who follow the way of lightning are often confused for monks of the four elements and this misconception often leads to the downfall of their opponents. These monks are precise manipulators of ki that can alter its characteristics to strengthen their body, mind and soul in order to carve a way to victory. They specialise in use of lightning to strike quickly and accurately so much so that their use of it is cannot be rivalled. You learn the shocking grasp cantrip if you don’t know it already.

Lightening Body

At 3 level, for the cost of 1 ki point, on your reaction you can infuse your body with lightning granting you +2AC till the start of your next turn. If the creature that made the attack is within 10ft, they must make a DEX saving throw against your ki Save DC. On a failed save they are stunned till the end of your next turn.

Charge strikes

At 3 level, for the cost of 2 ki points and an action you can touch two surfaces (creatures included) and imbue one of them with a positive charge and the other with a negative charge for 1 minute. At the end of your each turn, if a positive and negative charge are within 15ft of each other, then a streak of lightning passes between them. If either of those surface are a creature they take 1d6 lightning damage.

Discharge

At 6 level, you improve your mastery over ki and gain immunity to lightning damage and cannot be stunned from taking lightning damage.

 

For the cost of an action and 2 ki points, make a ranged spell attack against a target within 60ft. The target takes 3d8 lightning damage and are stunned for one round on a hit. You can spend 1 additional ki point to make the attack critical on an attack roll of 18 or greater.
