Way of the War-Torn Prairie

War-torn Prairie Monks are known for their ability to control their emotions on the field of battle. They pride themselves on mastering their emotions instead of their emotions mastering them. This is often brought about by forcing themselves to survive extremely tense situations meant to break ones mind, body, and soul.

Channeled Aggression

You have experience with focusing your anger or aggression into your fists from the injuries you have taken. When you choose this tradition at 3rd level, you have access to a pool of aggression that you can apply to the damage total of your attacks. The amount of damage the aggression pool contains is equal to the amount of damage that you have received from bludgeoning, piercing, or slashing damage during the previous round. The maximum amount of damage you can channel into a single attack is equal to your martial die. The aggression pool depletes to 0 at the end of your turn. You add the damage to an attack before you make the attack roll.

 

Fracturing Blows

When you choose this tradition at 3rd level, any attack you make against a creature that is not wearing light, medium, or heavy armor receives maximum damage from your martial die.

 

When you take Flurry of Blows as a bonus action, the creature is treated as if they are not wearing armor (creatures AC becomes 8 + Dexterity modifier).

Pact of the War-torn Prairie

Beginning at 6th level, you can channel your ki to allow your fists to be heard from miles away, shatter stone walls, and rock the foundation of any society. As a bonus action you can spend 2 ki points to fill your fists with unnatural force, your martial die increases up one level (d6 to a d8, d10 to a d12) and your melee attacks deal force damage instead of bludgeoning, piercing, or slashing damage. This feature lasts for a minute and you recieve force damage equal to 1/2 the damage you dealt for each attack . You can end this feature at any time. 

 

Scars of One’s Pact

At 11th level, whenever you use your Pact of the War-torn feature, the feature now costs 3 ki points instead of 1 ki point. You gain resistance to force damage while Pact of the War-torn is active. When you first activate Pact of the War-torn feature, you deal force damage in a 5 foot radius that deals force damage equal to your monk level.

 

Theory of Oppression

Beginning at 17th level, you become unrelenting in your aggression and nurturing of the element of rage. If you attack a creature within reach that has a lower initiative than yourself, you have the option, when it goes around to the start of that creature's turn, to use your reaction and spend from 3 up to 8 ki points to make a number of attacks equal to the number of ki points you have spent. These attacks can not gain advantage. After all attacks are done, your initiative changes to the creature's initiative and the creature’s initiative drops by 3.
