Monks of the Way of the Feng-Shue Might are practitioners who draw their power from one of the four legendary beasts: Suzaku, Byakko, Suiryu, and Genbu. These monks undergo rigorous training to attune themselves to the elemental forces represented by these mythical creatures. Some monks venerate these beasts as semi-divine entities, seeking to honor them through their martial and spiritual practices. By channeling their ki in alignment with the essence of these legendary animals, these monks gain access to formidable abilities, enhancing their prowess in combat and allowing them to wield the elements with devastating effect.

Feng-Shue Power

3rd-level Way of the Feng-Shue Might feature

At 3rd level, you choose an elemental force to align with: Suzaku, Suiryu, Byakko, or Genbu. This choice grants you features at 3rd level and again at 6th, 11th, and 17th levels. Magical effects gained from Elemental Force use Wisdom as their spellcasting ability.

The save DC for these effects is 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier.

Additionally, you gain the ability to understand and speak Primordial, if you do not already know it by other means.

Invoke the Emblem

3rd-level Way of the Feng-Shue Might feature

At 3rd level, you can use a bonus action to invoke the emblem of your chosen feng-shue power. This feature can be used twice per short or long rest. At 11th level, it can be used three times per short or long rest. The effect of Invoke the Emblem lasts for 1 minute, ending early if you are incapacitated, choose to end it, or activate another effect of Invoke the Emblem.

Suzaku: Your unarmed strikes and monk weapons can deal fire damage instead of their normal damage type. Once per turn, when you hit with an attack, you can spend up to 3 ki points to deal extra fire damage equal to your Martial Arts die for each ki point spent. Additionally, you can end the effects of Invoke the Emblem early to cast burning hands as a 2nd-level spell without using components.

Once per turn, when you hit with an attack, you can spend 2 ki points to deal extra cold damage equal to your Martial Arts die and force the target to make a Constitution saving throw. On a failure, the target's movement speed is halved until the end of your next turn.

Once per turn, when you hit with an attack, you can spend 2 ki points to deal extra lightning damage equal to your Martial Arts die and force the target to make a Constitution saving throw. On a failure, the target has disadvantage on attack rolls until the end of your next turn.

Genbu: Your unarmed strikes and monk weapons can deal force damage instead of their normal damage type. You can spend 2 ki points to create a shell of rocks and crystals around your skin, gaining temporary hit points equal to twice your Martial Arts die and adding your Constitution modifier (minimum of 1) to your AC. While this shell is active, you have resistance to non-magical slashing, piercing, and bludgeoning damage.
