Way of the Unleashed Potential

Monks who follow the Way of the Unleashed Potential have learned to harness and manipulate their inner energy, called Ki, in ways that mimic the extraordinary powers told in legends, displayed by fantastic and flashy warriors. These monks focus on improving their physical prowess, energy manipulation, and unlocking the latent power within themselves.

Monks who follow the Way of the Unleashed Potential believe that the key to unlocking their true power lies within themselves. These monks dedicate their lives to honing their physical and spiritual capabilities, seeking to surpass their own limitations and achieve mastery over their innate energy, known as ki. Through rigorous training and unwavering discipline, they learn to tap into the deepest reserves of their own strength, allowing them to perform extraordinary feats and unleash the full potential of their minds and bodies.

The monks of the Way of the Unleashed Potential often train in secluded monasteries or under the guidance of experienced mentors, who help them to refine their techniques and discover the secrets of their inner power. They are driven by an insatiable desire for self-improvement, constantly pushing themselves to the edge of their abilities in pursuit of greater power and understanding.

In combat, these monks are formidable opponents, capable of unleashing devastating attacks and defending themselves with an unbreakable barrier of ki. Their mastery over their inner energy allows them to perform incredible feats of strength, speed, and agility, and they can even project their ki outward in the form of powerful energy blasts.

Above all else, the monks of the Way of the Unleashed Potential value the journey of self-discovery and personal growth. They understand that true power comes not from external sources, but from the depths of one's own spirit. By embracing this path, they strive to unlock the ultimate potential that lies dormant within themselves and become the greatest warriors they can be.

Ki Blast (3rd Level Feature)

As a Way of the Unleashed Potential, you have learned to project your Ki in the form of energy blasts. As an action, you can spend 1 Ki point to make a ranged spell attack against a creature within 60 feet of you. On a hit, the target takes 1d10 + your Wisdom modifier force damage. The damage increases to 2d10 at 5th level, 3d10 at 11th level, and 4d10 at 17th level. At 11th level, the range increases to 120 feet.

Additionally, you can channel your energy and fire a large Ki attack in a line. As an action, you can spend 3 Ki points to fire a 5 ft. wide, 80 ft. long line of Ki energy in a direction you choose. Each creature in the line must make a Constitution saving throw, taking 5d6 force damage on a failed save or half as much on a successful one. You can increase the line's damage by spending additional Ki points. For each additional Ki point you spend, you add 2d6 force damage.

Ki Deflection (6th Level Feature)

Your mastery over Ki allows you to create a protective barrier around yourself. When you are targeted by an attack or spell that deals damage, you can use your reaction and spend 1 Ki point to create a Ki barrier that reduces the damage taken by an amount equal to 1d10 + your Wisdom modifier + your Monk level. If the damage is reduced to 0, you can deflect projectiles or ranged spell attacks as per the Deflect Missiles feature, even if the attack wasn't a ranged weapon attack.

Additionally, as a bonus action, you can spend 1 Ki point to grant yourself resistance to either bludgeoning, piercing, or slashing damage (your choice) until the start of your next turn.

Potential Unleashed (11th Level Feature)

You have learned to unlock your hidden potential, allowing you to push your body and mind beyond their normal limits. As an action, you can spend 3 Ki points to enter a heightened state for 1 minute. While in this state, you gain the following benefits:

• Your movement speed increases by 10 feet.
• You gain a flying speed of 30 ft.
• You gain advantage on Strength and Dexterity ability checks and saving throws.
• Your unarmed strikes and Ki Blasts deal additional damage equal to your Wisdom modifier.
• Your Ki Blast line attack deals an additional 2d6 damage.

Once you use this feature, you cannot use it again until you finish a long rest. Starting at 17th level, you can use this feature twice between long rests.

Ascended Transformation (17th Level Feature)

Your mastery of your Ki has reached new heights, granting you incredible power. While you are in your Potential Unleashed state, you can spend an additional 2 Ki points as a bonus action to ascend even further. You gain the following benefits for the duration of your Power Unleashed state:

• Your movement speed increases by an additional 20 feet (for a total of 30 feet).
• Your flying speed increases to 60 ft.
• Your unarmed strikes and Ki Blasts score a critical hit on a roll of 19 or 20.
• When you hit a creature with an unarmed strike, you can spend 1 Ki point to force the target to make a Strength saving throw against your Ki save DC. On a failure, the target is pushed back 15 feet and knocked prone.
• Your Ki Blast line attack deals an additional 4d6 damage (for a total of 6d6 additional damage when combined with Potential Unleashed).
