Way of the Iron Fist

Beginning at 3rd level, upon choosing this monastic tradition, the monk's body hardens to withstand heavy blows. He has gained the passive ability of Iron Body. This technique allows the monk to shrug off the first 10pts(+monk level + Dex Mod) of damage. This increases to 15pts(+monk level + Dex Mod) at 8th level, 20pts(+monk level + Dex Mod) at 13th level, and 25pts(+monk level + Dex Mod) at 20th level. This ability is passive and resets after a short/long rest. Furthermore, the monk's unarmed strikes do piercing damage instead of bludgeoning damage.

 

Level 3: Heavenly Leap

At 3rd level, the monk of this monastic tradition has honed their legs to a point where they can jump many times their own height in a single bound; this technique is called Heavenly Leap. At the expense of 1 ki point, the monk can leap into the air in height equal to 10 feet(+monk level). This increases to 15 feet(+monk level) at 10th level, and 20 feet(+monk level) at 20th level. This ability can only be used twice per day per short/long rest.

Chin Na

At 6th level, the monk is now able to trap and parry and opponent's méleé attack. This technique is called Chin Na. At the expense of 2 ki points, the monk can grab the opponent's méleé attack and make an attack of their own. This can only be done as a reaction, regardless if the opponent hits/misses the attack. This ability can only be used twice per combat per short/long rest.

Level 11: Indomitable Spirit

At 11th level, the monk is now immune to charm and fear effects. 

Dim Mak

At 17th level, the monk knows every aspect of the physical body, and can pinpoint the deadly pressure points. This technique is called Dim Mak(Death Touch). At the expense of 3 ki points, the monk can make a single deadly attack on and opponent's pressure point. Upon being struck by this attack, the opponent must succeed on a constitution save against a DC8(+proficiency mod + wisdom mod) or die. Upon a successful save, the opponent takes 10d10 force damage. This ability can only be used once per short/long rest.
