Way of the Warrior Monk

Students that follow the way of the warrior monk go above and beyond the normal training of both monks and armored warriors. They discipline themselves to master their equipment as extensions of their own body to the point that they are as comfortable moving around and carrying their equipment as they are when they are out of it. These monks focus their training to mastering their body's limitations and understanding how to focus for brief moments of time to exceed their body's limitations.

The discipline of these monks are capable of shrugging off pain, swiftly ignoring debilitating effects, and showing unstoppable determination against their foes. Many warlords have often rethought their plan of attack against rival clan when they know a monastery of warrior monks is within the territory.

Extension of the Body

Starting at the 3rd level, you trained intensively for weight to be a non-issue in your martial arts. You ignore disadvantage to your stealth checks caused by the armor you wear, and you can still use your other monk abilities even when wearing armor, but not shields. Martial melee weapons also count as monk weapons.

Additionally, you can use your strength modifier in place of your dexterity modifier for determining your armor class while wearing armor.

Ki Frenzy

At 3rd level, you learn to channel your focus to trust your instincts and ignore your physical limitations. You can spend 1 ki point to gain +2 Strength, +2 Wisdom, and resistance to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage for one round. This ability can only be used once per round.

Defensive Strike

When you use the Patient Defense monk ability, you can also make an unarmed strike against an target within melee range of you.

Tireless Frenzy

At 11th level, you know all ailments will eventually pass, so why not now? When you use Ki Frenzy, you can end the effect from blinded, charmed, deafened, exhausted, frightened, grappled, paralyzed, poisoned, or restrained on yourself.

Determined Spirit

At 17th level, your determination is unwavering, even if you were dead, others still fear crossing your path. When you use your Ki Frenzy you increase your Str and Wis by +4 instead of +2 and are resistant to all types of damage. If you would take half damage from making a successful saving throw, you take no damage instead. When an attack misses you or is reduced to 0, you can spend a Ki point to deal your unarmed strike damage to a target in range.
