Way of the Wilderness

Monks who follow the Way of the Wilderness draw inspiration from the natural world around them. Be it plants, animals, rivers, or rocks, there is beauty to be found in everything, and that beauty should be appreciated and emulated; in speech, daily behavior, and even in combat.

Tree Swaying in the Wind

Strong and flexible, you mimic the beauty of trees. Once per long rest, you can use your reaction to gain one of the following effects: You can resist being knocked prone, you can negate the damage of an attack that deals bludgeoning or force damage, you can reduce slashing or piercing damage you take by half, or, when hit with a melee weapon attack you can deal half that damage back to the attacker.

Flowing Water

Relentless and powerful, you mimic the beauty of water. When you use your Flurry of Blows, you can make one additional attack. This becomes two additional attacks at 11th Level, and three additional attacks at 17th level. Every time you hit with one of these additional attacks, you can force your opponent to make a STR save against the attack roll. On a failed save, the target is knocked prone. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus per long rest.

Song of Chirping Birds

Sweet and melodious, you mimic the beauty of songbirds. When you make a Persuasion, Deception, or Intimidation Check, you can expend a Ki point to give yourself advantage on the check.

Early Morning Mist

Elusive and obscure, you mimic the beauty of fog. Double your DEX modifier whenever you make a Stealth Check or a DEX Saving Throw. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus per long rest, or you can expend 3 Ki points to use this feature.

Ferocious Tiger

Terrible and deadly, you mimic the beauty of a tiger. Whenever you make an unarmed strike, you can choose whether it deals bludgeoning, slashing, or piercing damage. Additionally, the damage die for your unarmed strikes becomes 1d12 instead of 1d10, and you have advantage on STR checks and saves.
