Monk
Base Class: Monk

Some monks look further inward than many, achieving a state of harmony with the world that many others can only imagine. Monks of the Way of the Byakugan gain advanced visual abilities and accuracy only spoken of in legend. Few of these monks still exist today, but those that do are regarded with equal parts awe and fear. The Byakugan is only achieved through meditation and mastery of the Gentle Fist Martial Art. This Technique focuses Ki into the eyes to reveal the hidden truths of not only the world, but the of their enemies as well. This delicate control of Ki being used to synchronize the users body, through the Art of the Gentle Fist Technique, with the powerful eyes is the secret to the Way of the Byakugan.

Byakugan

Beginning at 3rd level, as a bonus action, you can activate your Byakugan. While activated, your eyes turn nearly white, and you gain the following benefits:
● You gain darkvision out to a range of 60 feet. If you already have darkvision, it increases by 60 feet.
● You have advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on sight and Wisdom Saving Throws.
● You have advantage on ability checks to see through illusions.
● You know how many spell slots, ki points, or sorcerer points an enemy creature has as well as any spell-like abilities.
Your Byakugan remains active for one minute or until you are incapacitated or end it as a free action.

The number of times the Byakugan can be used is equal to your proficiency bonus. You regain any expended uses after completing a short or long rest.

Gentle Fist

Beginning at 3rd level, as a bonus action or as a reaction to activating your Byakugan, you can spend 2 ki points to infuse your unarmed strikes with your ki. Your unarmed strikes deal additional damage that increases based on your monk level: +2 at 3rd level; +3 at 6th level; +4 at 11th level; +5 at 17th level. These bonuses do not stack. This does not make your unarmed strikes magical. This effect remains active for one minute, or until you are incapacitated or end it as a free action.

Ki Rotation

Beginning at 6th level, as reaction to being hit, you can spend 2 ki points to surround yourself with your ki and spin. This creates a bubble of energy that protects you from the triggering attack and any subsequent attacks until the beginning of your next turn. Any attacks made against you, magical or otherwise, are made with disadvantage, and you have advantage on saving throws made against area of effect attacks.
Additionally, any creature that attempts to touch you during your Ki Rotation is pushed back 5 feet and takes two Martial Arts dice in damage.

Improved Byakugan

Beginning at 11th level, your Byakugan grows stronger. While active, in addition to its previous benefits, you also gain truesight out to a range of 30 feet and gain advantage on Intelligence (Investigation) checks that rely on sight. Additionally, your Byakugan can remain active for a number of minutes equal to your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier or until you are incapacitated or end it as a free action.

8 Trigrams: Energy Blocking

Beginning at 11th level, your precision with your Byakugan can allow your strikes to disrupt your opponent’s flow of energy. When using your Flurry of Blows, you can spend 3 additional ki points while your Byakugan or Gentle Fist is active to force your opponent to make a Constitution saving throw. If your opponent fails this saving throw, you can target a number of class resources (ki points, sorcerer points, Superiority Dice, etc.) or spell slots equal to your Dexterity modifier. The targeted resource is blocked for a number of rounds equal to your Wisdom modifier. Alternatively, you can choose to block your opponent’s ability to use bonus actions and reactions for a number of rounds equal to your
Wisdom modifier.

Truth Seeker

Beginning at 17th level, you have mastered your Byakugan. While active, you can spend 6 ki points to gain the following additional benefits:
● You shed bright light in a 30 foot radius and dim light 30 feet beyond that.
● Your truesight extends to 80 feet
● You gain a flight speed equal to your walking speed
● A number of 1 foot spheres form behind you in a vertical circle. The amount of spheres is equal to your Wisdom modifier. You can use these spheres as weapons by forming them into spears. You are proficient with them. These have a range of 150/600 feet, deal 4d6 + your Wisdom modifier piercing damage, use your Wisdom modifier for attack rolls, and are considered magical. These spheres can alternatively, as a bonus action, change shape to be used as discs that mimic the levitate spell or used to surround yourself with and mimic the shield spell. When a sphere is used, it remains in that state until you use a bonus action to change its shape or to retrieve it. These benefits remain until your Byakugan ends, you are incapacitated, or you dismiss them as a bonus action. After using this ability, you cannot use it again until you complete a long rest.
