Monk
Base Class: Monk

Everything we perceive arrives at our mental processors slightly after that event occurs. To live in the present, with full awareness of where, what, and who we are is the goal of a monk following the Way of the Present.  They tend to be at odds with those who attempt to transcend themselves, instead they believe that the beauty of our immediate existence from moment to moment is the true path to enlightenment.

Hone Every Sense

Starting at 3rd level, while blinded you gain 20 feet of blindsight. Each time you gain a level in this class this vision increases by five feet. You are still blind beyond that point.

Halt Any Assault

At 6th level, you can use your supernatural awareness to block many attacks. You may use your deflect missiles ability on ammunition that passes within 5 feet of you and melee attacks targeted at you. If you reduce the damage on a melee attack to 0 make a Dexterity check using your proficiency modifier against the weapons attack roll.  On a success, you grab the weapon out of your opponent's hand and can either hold it in your hand or toss it to a spot within 10 feet of you. If you succeed on the check but can not remove the weapon you may instead grapple the creature.

React in Each Moment

If a creature or object triggers a reaction from you while you are blinded in the range of your blindsight you may react without expending a reaction. You may only react once to any one trigger. You may use this ability once per round. You can still only use a held action once.

See All Reality

At 11th level, you can see invisible creatures, creatures in the ethereal, concealed creatures, and every single object on a creature you focus on including what's in their pockets, bags, in a chest, or anything else in your blindsight range.  You have advantage on finding traps or objects that are in your blindsight range and on saves against traps while you are blinded along with all Perception checks and Investigation checks.

Observe Complete Truth

By 17th level, you are attuned to every passing second, twitch of muscle, and slight change in reality. You gain the following benefits:

  • You no longer need to be blinded to use your blind sense but can double its range while you are blind.
  • You know if any statement made in your immediate presence is truth or lie unless they succeed on a DC 30 Deception check.
  • You may expend two ki points as a Bonus Action or reaction to cast Detect Thoughts using your Wisdom modifier. You contest checks of this ability using your Wisdom modifier. Creatures are not aware that you have cast this spell on them unless they succeed on their saving throw.
  • You may use your React in Each Moment ability three times per round.
