Way of the Weave

Spellcasting, Spell Ability, Spell save DC, Arcane Strike

At 3rd level, one attack per turn when you hit a creature with an unarmed strike or melee monk weapon, you can spend 1 ki point to deal extra damage with an attack cantrip you know with a range of touch. You can spend 1 additional ki point to add an extra damage die of the cantrip you used.

For example, if you are a 5th-level Way of the Weave monk and choose to use *Shocking Grasp* with this feature, you would deal an additional 2d8 lightning damage on top of your unarmed strike damage by spending 1 ki point. If you spend an additional ki point, you would add another 1d8 lightning damage, making the extra damage a total of 3d8.

**Spellcasting** Drawing upon the power of the Weave, you can cast wizard spells.

* Cantrips: You learn two cantrips from the wizard spell list.

* Spell Slots: The Way of the Weave table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your wizard spells of 1st level and higher. To cast one of these spells, you must expend a slot of the spell’s level or higher. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a short or long rest. For example, when you are a 7th-level monk, you have two 2nd-level spell slots. To cast the 1st-level spell *Magic Missile*, you must spend one of those slots, and you cast it as a 2nd-level spell.

* Spells Known: The Way of the Weave table shows how many wizard spells you know. When you gain a monk level, you can replace one spell with another from the wizard spell list, representing your growing understanding of the arcane.

**Spellcasting Ability** Intelligence is your spellcasting ability for your wizard spells, as your study of the Weave enhances your magical prowess. You use your Intelligence whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Intelligence modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a wizard spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.

**Spell save DC** The DC for a saving throw against your spells is calculated as follows:

**Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier**

* Restrictions: Spells known and prepared are limited to the Abjuration and Evocation schools.

Magic's Grace

At 6th level, you can use your reaction and spend 2 ki points to add your Wisdom modifier to a saving throw against a spell or magical effect that targets you. If the effect does not normally allow a saving throw, you can make a saving throw against the effect with a DC equal to 10 + the effect’s level (or CR of the caster or creature, if applicable).

Arcane Defense

At 11th level, you gain resistance to damage from spells and magical effects. In addition, you can use your Deflect Missiles feature to deflect magical ranged spell attacks that target you.

Weave Guardian

At 17th level, you can call upon the power of the Weave to protect yourself and your allies. As an action, you can spend 6 ki points to create a protective barrier around yourself and up to five willing creatures within 30 feet. For 1 minute, each affected creature gains the following benefits:

* Advantage on saving throws against spells and magical effects.

* Resistance to damage from spells and magical effects.

* When a creature within the barrier succeeds on a saving throw against a spell or magical effect, you can use your reaction to redirect the effect to a creature of your choice within 60 feet of you.

Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest.
