Way of the Lightning Fist

Monks of the Way of the Lightning and Thunder have dedicated their lives to the mastery of harnessing the energy that flows through all things and guiding to their purpose.

One With Lightning

Starting at 3rd level you gain resistance to thunder and lightning damage. In addition you can spend 1 Ki point to wreathe yourself in lightning for 1 minute. While One with Lightning is active, you may make one additional unarmed strike when you take the attack action.

You can also choose whether your unarmed strikes are bludgeoning, lightning, or thunder damage.

Lightning Reflexes

Starting at 6th level, you can learn to use your lightning to control your muscles well beyond human reaction time. As a result while under the effects of One with Lightning you can spend one key point to raise your AC by 2 until the start of your next turn. Including against the triggering attack and making an unarmed strike as a reaction when an enemy within 5 feet of you attacks you with melee attack.

Speed of Lightning

Starting at 11th level as an action, you can expend 3 Ki points to teleport yourself to an empty space you can see within 90 feet. Each creature within 10 feet of the space you teleport to makes a DEX save (8 + your proficiency + your Wisdom modifier) taking 3d10 Thunder damage on a failed save, or half damage on a successful save, Thunder booms out to 300 feet away.

Lightning Strikes Twice

Starting at 17th level, One with Lightning now deals an additional 1d6 lightning damage on each unarmed strike while the effect is active.

When you hit a creature with an unarmed strike, you can expand 3 Ki points to surge an incredible amount of electricity through their body. When you use this ability the creature must make a DEX save (8 + your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier). It takes 12d12 damage on a failed save and half as much on a successful one.
