Way of the Guided Soul

For some, the study of monkhood alone can be tough, particularly for those without a formal teacher. For Monks of the Way of the Guided Soul, also known as the Guided, their study of the martial arts is gently directed by some outside force. Is it practiced movement coded to muscle memory? Some outside power filling them? Some Guided go their whole life without understanding their true power.

The Guided focus on quick, delicate movements and versatility, distinguishing it from the more formal traditions.

Guided Hands

Starting when you choose this tradition at 3rd level, your hands move in precise movements beyond what you previously deemed possible.

You can spend 1 ki point and choose one type of weapon: weapons of that type become treated as monk weapons for you until the start of your next turn.

When you are not wearing armour or wielding a shield, you can spend 1 ki point and 5ft of movement to, as a free action, sheathe your weapon(s) and draw another weapon(s).

Guided Feet

Starting at 6th level, you feel your ki spread naturally to your legs and feet.

Whenever you roll for initiative, your movement speed is doubled until the end of your turn.

Moving through non-magical difficult terrain costs you no extra movement.

Guided Mind

At 11th level, your mind becomes fine-tuned, leaving you quicker, sharper, and more perceptive.

You gain expertise in Perception.

Once per long rest, as an action, you can spend 3 ki points: for the next hour, you have Truesight to 40 ft.

Whenever you would roll for initiative, you can spend 2 ki points to roll with advantage.

Guided Body

Beginning at 17th level, you start to feel the ki from others and begin to subconciously react to it.

When you are targeted by a ranged attack from an enemy you can see, or a melee attack, you can spend 2 ki points to use your reaction to impose disadvantage on that attack. If the attack is unsuccessful, as part of the same reaction, you can Disengage and move up to half your speed.
