Base Class: Monk
Monks of the Way of Honor are often seen on the front lines of battle, taking the hits others can't take, and dishing them back like nobody else. Their techniques are the peak of physical endurance and ultimate willpower.
Unwavering Defense
You gain proficiency in shields, and they add to the Unarmored Defense feature. Using 3 Ki Points, you are able to cast Shield.
Adaptable Combatant
At 6th level, you've learned to adapt to your situation in combat. If hit by an attack or dealt any form of damage of a certain type, you can use your reaction to gain resistance from said damage type for 1 minute. If used twice in the same combat, or if combat ends, the resistance is lost.
Frontline Defender
Beginning at 11th level, you have a method of taking hits in place of your less durable friends. If you are within range of a hostile creature attempting to attack, you can attempt force them to attack you regardless of their target. They must make a Wisdom saving throw with a DC equal to 8 + your Wisdom modifier + your Proficiency bonus, and upon a failure they attack you instead of their intended target. You have three uses of this ability that are restored upon a short rest.
Impervious Combatant
At 17th level, you have mastered the art of taking one for the team. The resistances gained from Adaptable Combatant become immunities.
