Monk
Base Class: Monk

Monks of the Way of the Dragonblade are monks who have harnessed their fighting spirit and honor in order to hone their Ki into skills fit for both offense and defense. They treat combat as less of a spur-of-the-moment thing, and are arguably more in their element in combat than most other situations, finding peace in the chaos of battle.

Bonus Proficiency

When you choose this tradition at 3rd level, you gain proficiency with longswords, and they are monk weapons for you.

Blade Dash

Additionally at 3rd level, you gain the ability to break into a dash with your weapon and strike at foes in an instant. When you use the attack action with your unarmed strikes or a monk weapon, you can spend 1 ki point to move up to 30 feet in a straight line as a bonus action. Using this movement, you do not attract attacks of opportunity and you can move through the space of any creature. You can choose to make a melee weapon attack against a creature you move through the space of.

You cannot use your Stunning Strike feature on a creature you hit using the blade dash.

Ki-Enhanced Weapons

At 6th level, your weapon attacks made using monk weapons are considered magical for the purpose of overcoming resistance and immunity to nonmagical attacks and damage.

Dragon Dance

In addition at 6th level, you can use your Blade Dash as part of the attack action, replacing one of the attacks you would normally make. If used this way, you can only move up to 15 feet and do not spend a ki point using it.

In addition, your long jump and high jump distances are doubled.

Ki-Enhanced Agility

At 11th level, you can use your Deflect Missiles feature if you would be attacked by a ranged spell attack. In addition, you can add a bonus to the d10 roll from Deflect Missiles equal to your Wisdom modifier.

Dragonblade

At 17th level, you gain the ability to hone your fighting spirit into a special fighting stance which enhances your combat abilities. As a bonus action, you can spend 5 ki points to activate the Dragonblade for 1 minute. While Dragonblade is active, damage dealt by your monk weapon attacks and unarmed strikes increase by an amount equal to your Wisdom modifier. 

In addition, for the duration, you can replace any attack you make with the attack action with your Blade Dash and you can move the full 30 feet, and using your Blade Dash does not cost any ki points.
