Way of Flowing Water

Monks who practice the Way of Flowing Water seek to hone their defensive abilities. They take inspiration from the way that rivers and streams weave around obstacles in their path and are able to erode even the largest of boulders overtime.

Reflection

If both hands are free you gain the following benefits:

• You can add your proficiency modifier and 1 Martial Arts dice when calculating damage reduction from Deflect Missiles.
• You can use Deflect Missiles on objects of a size equal to your own but cannot spend ki points to make an attack using objects of that size even if the damage is reduced to 0.
• You can use Deflect Missiles against melee attacks that deal bludgeoning, piercing, or slashing damage.
• When you use your reaction to Deflect Missiles, you can spend 1 ki point to deflect up to 2 more attacks.

Equalization

• When you use Deflect Missiles on an attack from a creature within your reach and reduce the damage to 0, the attacking creature must make a Dexterity saving throw against your Monk Ki Save DC or be disarmed of their weapon. This doesn’t affect attacks using natural weapons such as unarmed strikes, bites, claws, etc.
• Deflected attacks can now deal magic damage for the purpose of overcoming resistances to non-magical attacks

Fluidity

• Opportunity Attacks against you are always made at disadvantage
• Your movement is no longer affected by magical or non-magical terrain
• You can use Deflect Missiles against magical attacks if the creature making that attack is within your reach.

Calm Before Storm

• Calm: As an action, you can increase your AC by an amount equal to your wisdom modifier until the beginning of your next turn. You can do this a number of times equal to your proficiency modifier. Expended uses of this ability are regained after every long rest.

• Storm: Gain an extra reaction that can only be used to Deflect Missiles
