Monks of the Way of the Lightning have the ability to channel their ki energy into pure lightning. They teach how to transform their body into pure lightning controlling and resisting lightning.

Lightning Form

Starting when you choose this tradition at 3rd level, you can channel the ki energy inside of yourself to have lightning energy go trough your body. You can spend 3 ki points as a bonus action to focus this energy in your body and you gain the following benefits for 1 minute:

• Your unarmed strikes do lightning damage instead of bludgeoning damage.
• You gain the benefit of the charger feat but it is a little bit modified:
  • The damage changes from 5 to 8
  • The feet you can push someone away change from 10 to 15. If you choose to shove you don't use your athletics skill, instead you use your unarmed strike attack opposed to the enemies acrobatics check. If you successfully push them away, the punch emits a thunderous boom audible out to 5 feet * the feet the creature was pushed away.
• Attacks of opportunity have disadvantage against you
• Your movement speed increases by 5 feet.
• You gain resistance to lightning damage.

The movement speed bonus increases when you reach ertain levels in this class, increasing to 10 at 7th level, 15 at 11th level and 20 at 17th level.

The damage from the charger feat increases when you reach certain levels in this class, increasing to 11 at 7th level, 15 at 11th level, and 20 at 17th level.

The feet you can push someone from the charger feat increases when you reach certain levels in this class, increasing to 20 at 7th level, 25 at 11th level, and 30 at 17th level.

Lightning Body

At 6th level, you gain the ability to focus your lightning energy even more inside of yourself while your in your Lightning Form.

• You can use your Deflect Missiles feature against spells that deal lightning damage.
• You can now also use 3 ki points to channel the lightning energy in your body into one touch. As an action you canmake a melee spell attack against one creature within 5 feet of you. On a hit the target takes 8d6 lightning damage. Wisdom is your spellcasting ability for this.

Lightning Rod Arms

Beginning at 11th level, when you are hit by a creature within 5 feet of you by a melee weapon attack you can use your reaction to deal the attacker lightning damage equal to your martial arts die. When you are in your lightning form you add half your monk level (rounded down) to the damage.

True Lightning Form

At 17th level, you gain the ability to transform into a pure form of Lightning,  you can spend 10 ki points as a free action to transform into that form for 1 minute. While in the form you gain the following benefits:

• You gain the same benefits from your lightning form from lvl 3
• Your movement increases by another 10 feet
• You gain resistance to all damage
• You gain immunity to lightning damage

While outside of your lightning form you still have resistance to lightning damage.
