Base Class: Monk
"You play dirty, he plays dirty, everybody plays dirty."
The harsh life of living day by day has taught you to not respect your opponents and take advantage of every single opportunity that presents to you, after all a surprise assault is the strongest when morals don't try to interrupt you.
Shadowless Elbow
"Hit them fast, before they do."
Starting when you choose this tradtion at 3rd level, you have advantage on attack rolls against any creature that hasn't taken a turn in the combat yet. In addition, you can spend 1 ki point to take the Hide action as a bonus action on your turn.
Unanticipated Circumstances
"Hey, you gotta do what you gotta do."
Beginning at 6th level, when you hit another creature of a medium size with an unarmed strike, you can spend 2 ki points to attempt an eye-gouging. The target must succeed on a Constitution saving throw against your ki save DC or be blinded. The target can repeat the saving throw each time their turn starts.
Touchy Hands
"Quick! Grab what you can."
Reaching 11th level, you learn how to use improvised weapons and have proficiency with them. When choosing to attack with an improvised weapon instead of unarmed strike, you deal an extra 1d6 damage of the same type dealt by the weapon. In addition, you can use your Martial Arts feature with improvised weapons.
Darts Away
"Sh*t hit the fan, yo."
Starting at 17th level, you can give up on everything and just take run for it. By spending 5 ki points and using a bonus action on your turn, you can double your movement speed, increase your AC temporarily by 3 and gain advantage on spell saving throws. This effect ends at the start of your next turn. You can use this feature once per long rest.
