Base Class: Monk
mixed martial artist does not seek perfection or mastery over a style, but the mastery over fight itself. And to become the best fighter they can be, they draw from multiple sources, and learn how to use their bodies to the fullest to strike, push, grab and twist their enemies using each fiber of muscle inside their bodies.
Flurry of Strikes
There's more than one type of strike. A punch or a kick might simply hurt, but you can turn that strike into something more. You've learned how you can weaken the body so that your target isn't as effective, weaken their defenses with a might blow, or strike so fast they feel as if they've been hit twice. When you use your flurry of blows, you can do one of the following to your target.
• Pressure point strike- it must succeed on a Constitution saving throw or its strength based attacks deal reduced damage equal to one roll of your martial arts die until the end of its next turn.
• Hammer blow- it must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or have its Ac reduced by 2 until the end of its next turn.
• Twin strike- It must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or it takes an additional martial arts die of damage.
Soft Grappling
You can use your Dexterity, instead of Strength, for your contested Strength (Athletics) checks.
In addition, whenever you grapple or shove a target, or whenever a creature end its turn grappled by you, it takes damage equal to your martial arts die.
Styles
Each style gives you a passive benefit. In addition, each style also gives you a different ki feature, that can be used by spending 1 ki point.
Whenever a style require a bonus action to be used, if you use your flurry of blows you can replace one of your attacks by the effect of that style.
