Way of the Attuned Spirit

Monks of the Attuned Spirit, like monks of the four elements, utilize the forces of the elements to embolden themselves physically and mentally. However, the latter focuses on manipulating the existing elements while the former manifests this power from within. Monks of the Attuned Spirit are about experimentation and understanding of Ki itself, while also finding ways to include their own personal flair. 

Unfocused Attunement

Starting when you choose this tradition at 3rd level, you begin to experiment with Ki manipulation and gain the ability to transition its form. Whenever you make an unarmed strike, you may choose to roll a d12. Your result determines the type of damage your strike does.

Attunement Table

1-3	Bludgeoning
4	Fire
5	Lightning
6	Thunder
7	Cold
8	Acid
9	Poison
10	Radiant
11	Necrotic
12	Force

Learn Control

At 6th level, you have found attunement with one particular form of Ki and are able to bolster both your defenses and attacks with it. Pick one of the following damage types: fire, lightning, thunder, cold, acid, poison, radiant, necrotic, force. When you hit an enemy with an unarmed attack, you may spend 1 Ki point to deal an additional 1d6 (2d6 if you rolled on the Attunement Table and its result is the same damage type) damage of that damage type. 1d8 at 11th level. 1d10 at 17th level. You get to pick another damage type at the 11th level. Whenever you use this ability, you gain resistance to the damage type until the start of your next turn.

Aspect of Ki

Additionally, at 6th level, based on which damage type you picked from Learn Control, you gain the following abilities:

• Fire. You are able to light up your hands like a torch and emit bright light for 10 ft. and dim light for an additional 10 ft. You can also warm up or ignite objects that are not being worn or carried.

Honed Technique

At 11th level, you have reached synchronization with your Ki, allowing you to overcome an enemy’s resolve through sheer force and unerring technique. When you hit a creature with an unarmed strike, you may spend 2 Ki points to invoke one of the following effects. These effects ignore damage resistance (You may only use a Honed Technique effect if you have chosen its damage type as part of Learn Control):

• Fire. Target creature makes a Dexterity Saving Throw. On a failed save, the creature is lit on fire and takes 2d10 fire damage. The target takes an additional 1d6 fire damage at the start of each of its turns. The creature may use their action to put themselves out.

Using your action, you may spend 10 Ki points to perform one of the following Signature Moves. You may only perform a Signature Move if you have selected its damage type as part of your First Awakening. You may not attack in the same turn you use a Signature Move. You cannot use a Signature Move if you used one last turn.
