Way of the Radiant Script

You have been taught a form of martial arts to manipulate the Ki within yourself and the Ki around you. Using this knowledge, you have taken the mantle of protector against the forces of insanity that wish to tear down the pillars of the world around you. Use these powers to become a beacon of hope and knowledge while kicking the ass of madness in a firey execution.

This build can be flavored as Hamon or Super Saiyan if you would like. This subclass was based on the Astral Self Monk to be more centralized around transforming rather than other monk features. The subclass begins with a nice damage buff to keep up with fellow martial arts classes but if focused on supporting allies rather than pure damage. Ignis Embossment is tip between support and damage. 

Radiant State

At 3rd level, you have progressed in your Ki mastery to concentrate Ki to heighten your power and manipulate other's Ki. As a bonus action, you can spend 1 ki point to activate your Radiant State ability and begin to glow bright light for 10ft. and 10ft. of additional dim light. This state lasts for 10 minutes or when the user falls unconscious.

This ability can not be used while wielding a weapon other than your unarmed strikes.

While under the Radiant State effect, you gain the following benefits:

• For all unarmed strikes, use your Wisdom modifier in place of Dexterity or Strength modifiers.
• you now glow bright light for 10ft. and an additional 10ft. of dim light.
• your unarmed strikes now deal radiant damage instead of bludgeoning damage under the Radiant State effect.
• On the first turn in the Radiant State, anyone within the bright light range has disadvantage on the first attack of their turn.

Enhanced Radiant State

At 6th level, you have learned to control the radiant state more and gain the following benefits to the Radiant State effect:

• Now, while under the Radiant State effect, you can expend a KI point to fly equal to your movement speed.
• You gain resistance to Radiant and Necrotic damage.
• The Radiant State now glows at 15ft. of bright light and an additional 15ft. of dim light that pierces magical darkness for the sake of adding the benefits of Radiant State. This light does not make it easier to see, nor does it dispel the magical darkness.
• When a target is under the stun effect, the first unarmed strike made against the target deals critical damage.

Marks of the script

At 6th level, you gain the ability to mark someone with runes that grant benefits as an action from the marked. You can change or prepare different marks at the beginning of the day as you level up (6,6,9,13,17).

After a long rest, the marked creature can use the ability again.
