When you make a stealth check, you can spend 1 ki point to gain advantage on stealth checks for 1 minute

Tainted Fist:

Your unarmed strikes are now infused with the anger and pain of your exile. When you hit with an unarmed strike, you deal an additional 1d4 necrotic damage. This damage increases to 1d6 at level 11 and 1d8 at level 17.

Embrace the Dark

Forsaken Fury:

When you are below half of your hit point maximum, you can spend 3 ki points to enter a state of violent rage for 1 minute. While in this state, your unarmed strikes deal double damage. Once the effect ends, you gain one level of exhaustion. You can use this feature once per long rest. 

Fallen Mastery

Solitary Reign:

When you are alone (with no allies within 30 ft), you gain advantage on attack rolls and your movement speed increases by 10 ft. Additionally, your unarmed strikes deal an additional 2d6 necrotic damage while you are in solitude. This feature can only be used when you are not incapacitated and are at least 30 ft away from all allies.
