Monk of Sun and Sea

The Monk of the Sun and Sea worships the Japanese Goddess of Creation and Sun, Amaterasu, and the God of Storms and Seas, Susanoo. Through prayer, they have a special attunement to Fire, Water, and Wind/Thunder and are able to channel them in their movements. Through the balance between the two deities, they are able to channel their energy to emulate the powers of their Gods to strike down their foes or aid their comrades.

The Sun protects; the Storm disrupts; together, they restore balance.

 

Amaterasu — The Sun

Restoration · Radiance · Protection

Healing, warmth, radiant or fire-infused strikes, and the preservation of life. Amaterasu represents the power that the Monk can borrow to protect others.

Susanoo — The Sea and Storm

Thunder · Displacement · Force

Thunderous strikes, violent gusts, lightning, and battlefield control. Susanoo represents the power to disrupt what stands in the way.

A thunderclap erupts around your target. The creature takes Thunder damage equal to one roll of your Martial Arts die and must succeed on a Strength saving throw or be pushed up to 10 feet away from you.

The thunderous strike echoes like the roar of an eight-headed serpent.
