Explosive Strikes

Starting at 3rd level, your melee strikes carry the explosive energy within them. Whenever you hit a creature with an unarmed strike or monk weapon, you can choose to expend 1 ki point to make your strike explode. The target and all creatures within 5 feet of it must make a Dexterity saving throw against your ki save DC, taking fire damage equal to your Martial Arts die roll on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

Explosive Step

At 6th level, you learn to channel explosive power into your movements. As a bonus action, you can spend 2 ki points to ignite your step, causing an explosion as you move. Until the end of your turn, your movement doesn't provoke opportunity attacks, and each creature of your choice within 10 feet of you must make a Dexterity saving throw against your ki save DC, taking fire damage equal to your Martial Arts die roll on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

Explosion Mastery

Upon reaching 11th level, you have become a master of explosions. You have advantage on saving throws against effects that would cause you to be frightened, charmed, or stunned. In addition, when you expend ki points to activate the Pyrokinetic Monk features, the damage dealt increases by an additional Martial Arts die roll.

Inferno Aura

Starting at 17th level, your mastery over explosive energy extends to your very being. As an action, you can spend 3 ki points to activate your Inferno Aura. Until the end of your next turn, an aura of intense heat radiates from you in a 30-foot radius. Any enemy creature that starts its turn or enters the area for the first time on a turn takes fire damage equal to your proficiency bonus. Additionally, when you hit a creature with an unarmed strike or monk weapon while your Inferno Aura is active, they automatically fail the saving throw against your Explosive Strikes feature.
