Lightning Charge

Whenever you roll a critical hit with an unarmed strike or with a monk weapon, you deal additional damage equal to twice the amount of charge the creature has.

At 6th level, you are able to harness the powers of lightning.

Whenever you deal damage to a charged creature with an unarmed strike or with a monk weapon, you roll a raw 1d20, with the DC being 20 - (twice the amount of charge the creature has). If you succeed the roll, you can roll to hit the same creature again. This can only be done once per turn.

Additionally, your unarmed strikes and monk weapons can now deal lightning damage.
