The founder of The Way of The Eldritch Gift, used their powerful Ki to reach across the planes of existence.  They found a powerful patron that was willing to gift the monk more power and ability, for a small personal price and a small dedication to spread the gift.  The patron takes the cost at 1st level and starts granting gifts and abilities at 3rd level.

The connection to the Patron has opened your mind to greater understanding of the Planes of existence and allows you to more intensely damage your enemies.  This increase KI and Hit die comes at the cost of needing a long rest to regain your Ki.

Pact of the Fist

Your unarmed attack actions now deal force damage.  All modifiers remain the same.  All bonus or reaction attacks remain bludging, piercing, or slashing damage.

You can transform one dedicated weapon into your pact weapon by performing a special ritual while you hold the weapon. You perform the ritual over the course of 1 hour, which can be done during a short rest.  The weapon damage now becomes force for all attack actions,  all bonus and reaction attacks remain the original damage type.  You can't affect an artifact or a sentient weapon in this way. The weapon ceases being your pact weapon if you die, if you perform the 1-hour ritual on a different weapon, or if you use a 1-hour ritual to break your bond to it. 

 

 Pact of the Tome

Your patron gives you a grimoire called a Book of Shadows. When you gain this feature, choose three cantrips from any class's spell list. The cantrips do not need to be from the same spell list. While the book is on your person, you can cast those cantrips at will. They don't count against your number of cantrips known. Any cantrip you cast with this feature is considered a Monk cantrip for you. If you lose your Book of Shadows, you can perform a 1-hour ceremony to receive a replacement from your patron. This ceremony can be performed during a short or long rest, and it destroys the previous book. The book turns to ash when you die.

 

Pact of the Talisman

 Your patron gives you an amulet, a talisman that can aid the wearer when the need is great. When the wearer fails an ability check, they can add a d4 to the roll, potentially turning the roll into a success. This benefit can be used a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and all expended uses are restored when you finish a long rest.

If you lose the talisman, you can perform a 1-hour ceremony to receive a replacement from your patron. This ceremony can be performed during a short or long rest, and it destroys the previous amulet. The talisman turns to ash when you die.

3rd Touch of the Patron

Magic Defense

You can use your reaction to counter attack a spell cast against you or an ally, when the caster is within range of one of your attacks.  The counter attack does no damage, but interrupts the casting. To perform the counter attack you declare the caster if more than one is available.  The caster must make a Constitution save vs either your Attack roll or your spell casting DC.  On a successful counter attack the spell cast fails.
