Monk
Base Class: Monk

Monks of the Way of the Inner Ki have learned to harness their Ki in ways that go beyond simple strikes and movement. Through intense training and meditation, they can mark enemies, teleport across the battlefield, create spectral limbs, and manifest ethereal copies of themselves. They become elusive and unpredictable, blurring the lines between the physical and the spiritual.

Ki Mark

Starting at 3rd level, you learn to focus your Ki to mark an enemy as your target. When you hit a creature with an unarmed strike, you can spend 1 Ki Point to mark them with your Ki for 1 minute. While a creature is marked, you gain the following benefits:

  • You can add your Wisdom modifier to attack rolls made against the marked creature.
  • You always know the marked creature's location, as long as they are within 120 feet of you.
  • Once per turn, when you hit the marked creature with an unarmed strike, you can deal extra damage equal to your Martial Arts die.

The mark fades if the creature dies, if you mark a different creature, or if the creature is beyond 120 feet from you for more than 1 minute.

At 6th level, you learn to manipulate your Ki to shift through space. As a bonus action, you can spend 2 Ki Points to teleport to an unoccupied space within 30 feet that you can see.

Additionally, if the creature you have marked with Ki Mark is within 60 feet, you can choose to teleport directly to an unoccupied space adjacent to them instead, even if you can’t see them.

Spectral Limbs

At 11th level, your control over your inner Ki allows you to manifest additional, spectral limbs that aid you in combat. As a bonus action, you can spend 3 Ki Points to summon up to two spectral limbs (arms, legs, or other appendages of your choice) for 1 minute.

  • The spectral limbs function as extensions of your body. You can use them to make unarmed strikes, interact with objects, or perform simple tasks.
  • While you have spectral limbs, you can make one additional unarmed strike as part of your Attack action, using the limbs.
  • You have advantage on grappling checks and checks to escape being grappled.

The spectral limbs fade when the duration ends or when you dismiss them as a bonus action.

Manifest Inner Self

At 17th level, you can use your Ki to create a spectral copy of yourself. As an action, you can spend 5 Ki Points to manifest an ethereal version of yourself within 60 feet. The spectral copy lasts for 1 minute and has the following properties:

  • The spectral copy appears as a translucent duplicate of you and can occupy the same space as creatures.
  • You can make attacks and take actions through the spectral copy as if you were standing in its space. However, the copy can't physically interact with objects or creatures.
  • The spectral copy shares your AC, movement speed, and abilities, but it has no hit points and can't take damage. If an attack or effect targets the copy directly, it vanishes.
  • You can use your Ki Blink ability to teleport to the location of the spectral copy without spending extra Ki.

While the spectral copy is active, you and it can both make unarmed strikes on the same turn, though only one of you can use Flurry of Blows.

Once you use this feature, you must finish a long rest before using it again.
