Base Class: Monk
this subclass is all about rebellion and defying the masses
Delinquent Goju-Ryu Karate
Upon reaching 3rd level, you are considered a delinquent in all areas of monastic temples, schools, and masters alike; as your form of martial arts descends from the traditional, yet, Goju-Ryu Karate martial art, similar to Shotokan (Or Way of the Mountain via Ken’s Expedition to Muramasa). You’ve since, exchanged your original style to fight to kill, win, and ultimately, at times, combine styles to focus on the lethality rather than the artistic tradition of martial arts.
Level 3: demon ki
Demon Ki
Additionally, when reaching 3rd level, your unarmed strikes are infused with ki that has lost its way; rather than its wispy form of soul-like aura, it now shows in the form of red crackling lightning, but has no distinct element despite its form. When you drop a creature’s hit points to 0, the ecstasy of battle fills your soul and causes this ki to surge throughout your body; whenever you take the dash action, you don’t provoke opportunity attacks when passing by other creatures, and your next attack is done at advantage. This benefit disappears after the attack, regardless if it connects or not.
Level 6: explosive ki fist
Explosive Ki Fist
Starting at 6th level; you gain the ability to channel your ki to crazily surge into one distinct limb, at the cost of 2 ki points, you can exchange one of your unarmed strikes to perform the Thunderwave spell. If the creature you’re targeting is pushed against a wall or vertical surface, their next Constitution saving throw is done at disadvantage
Level 6: farewell to purity
Farewell to Purity
Additionally at 6th level, when using your Deflect Missles feature, if you reduce the damage to 0, you can choose to gain temporary hit points equal to the damage reduced as the unstable ki absorbs the impacts of the missile.
Level 11: rebellious strike
Rebellious Strike
Upon reaching 11th level, whenever you take damage from a melee weapon or spell attack, you can choose to take additional damage equal to a roll of your current martial arts die. If you do, you can make an attack of opportunity using your unarmed strike immediately after their attack or spell. Alternatively, this could be done with any of your techniques from the Delinquent Goju-Ryu Karate subclass feature
Level 11: eclipse form
Eclipse Form
Additionally at 11th level, when you reach below half of your maximum hit points, you may enter the Eclipse Form; your Ki begins to leak at random times throughout your body and rapidly engulfs your limbs upon attacks in a new form of a dark shade of purple atop your red lightning, thus gaining the following benefits:
You have advantage on all Dexterity-based checks and Dexterity saving throws that are targeted against you.- When you make a melee weapon attack or unarmed strike, you gain a bonus to the damage roll and roll to hit equal to half of your Dexterity modifier (Rounded down).
- You gain blind sight up to 60ft.
This feature can be used equal to your proficiency modifier per short rest and lasts for an hour.
If your hit points reach 0, the form and its benefits end. Upon regaining consciousness, the dark shade of purple lightning begins to randomly surge and scorch your body in a sense of unease, dealing half of your Wisdom modifier (rounded down) to you in force damage a total of 3 times within the next hour; this damage cannot be reduced or altered. This damage must be dealt before regaining access to the feature. Furthermore, you cannot perform a short or long rest; nor gain benefits from spells thereof (Such as the Catnap spell) Nor regain hit die until this damage is taken.
Level 17: the forbidden black wyvern technique
The Forbidden Black Wyvern Technique
Starting at 17th level, you are considered beyond dishonorable and are now shunned by every monastic tradition in history, from Long Death, to Shadow, to Kensei and so on…Even the very unstable Ki within your body, has now abandoned you. However, you now know the reason behind this rebellious path--The presence of a Black Wyvern has disguised itself within you your entire journey, jointing its very soul with your Ki. Its presence allows you to keep your unstable Ki in your body while suffocating the lightning surges in a wisp of black shadow.
You are now granted two techniques that have been considered forbidden by many monks throughout history:
eclipse hunt
dark dominance
dark dominance
•Dark Dominance: At the cost of 4 Ki points, you perform an unarmed strike at advantage or you can focus your Ki in a horrific fashion under the effects of the Destructive Wave spell; forcing it into your opponent and commanding it to rapidly strike internally.
ecplise haunt
•Eclipse Haunt: While in Eclipse Form, at the cost of 3 Ki points, you claw at your face with a verbal insult or boast of your power; your voice is now laced over with a deeper or higher layered pitch as you speak. Doing so, cast the Phantasmal Killer spell and ignore its concentration
