Way of the Unrelenting Fist

Through relaxed movement and honing of techniques, you have gained the ability to move within an enemy's range and deal multiple blows without retaliation. Favoring a narrow stance to protect the body and close elbows for quick strikes, without flourish conserving as much energy as possible. You aim for the primary vital points down the center of the body; neck, chest, belly, and groin. You shift and turn to maneuver your punches and kicks to avoid damage from your enemy while striking. Mental and physical toughness is paramount for a monk of the Unrelenting Fist.

• You must pass a DC 10 WIS saving throw with advantage, increasing by one for each subsequent attack (i.e. 11, 12, 13...).
• For each attack that hits you may attack again without spending a ki point, upon failure your turn ends. Take no reaction, movement, or bonus action.
• You may choose not to attack again to recover half your remaining movement.
• At 7th lv. you get a +5 to the damage dealt by your blows, this is not halved.
