Base Class: Monk

The traveler had been speaking with a man at a spring, and listening intently to what seemed like meaningless ramblings. The man asked the traveler if he understood the true value of knowing himself. The traveler was left speechless as he looked up to answer, now accompanied by 2 more of the mysterious figure.

The Way of the Reflection is built on the idea of 'shadow clones' -- doubles of a person or creature created from seemingly nothing. The tradition allows the user the ability to create these clones and manipulate them at will.

Double Technique

Starting when you choose this tradition at 3rd level, you can harness your ki into a being modeled after yourself. You can perform the following actions:

  • At any time, you can expend one ki point to create a silent image of yourself as per the silent image spell,  and many can be created at a time. This counts as a double of you.
  • You can spend 3 ki points to create a double of yourself that is indistinguishable from you without a successful DC 12 wisdom check. The double deals unarmed damage equivalent to yours, has 10 AC, and is destroyed on a successful attack throw. It can be freely controlled and only one may be summoned at a time. A double can exist for 30 minutes before dispersing.

Projected Multiplication

At 6th level, you can pass your ki through other creatures when using your double technique.

You can spend 3 ki points to produce a double of a creature not exceeding 1 CR within 30 feet of you. The double has 10 AC and is destroyed on a successful attack throw. Creature doubles' attack damage is equal to that of the model creature.

Your double technique also gains the following benefits:

  • 2 doubles may be summoned at the same time.
  • Doubles can wield weapons and shields, provided they have hands.

Combat Reflection

Beginning at 11th level, you can spent one ki point to switch places with a double of you in a radius equal to your Wisdom modifier x 10 feet (minimum of 10 feet). 

Additionally, whenever a double of you is within 15 feet of you, any creature that makes an attack roll against you or a double of you has disadvantage.

Superior Cloning

At 17th level, your double technique gains the following benefits:

  • 4 doubles  of yourself may be summoned at a time, and 2 additional of others.
  • Doubles have an armor class equal to that of their model, and last for an hour.
  • The Wisdom check to discern doubles from their model creatures is DC 15.

your combat reflection also gains the following benefits:

  • You can now switch a creature's place with a double of it within your range radius.
  • The range for switching places with a double is now equal to your Wisdom modifier x 20 feet.
