The Earth is a force of sheer destructive potential that only releases its true power when necessary. Those taught in the Way of the Timeless Stone think and fight in a similar manner. Some utilize precise movements and unshakable strikes to unleash the force of the earth itself upon their foes while others take the unshakable stance of the mountains, allowing them to outlast any opponent. 

Those who have decided to devote their lives to this tradition are often called breathing statues: they stand the test of time, watching, until it is right for them to move.

Master of Stone

Having a profound connection with the earth has taught you how to mimic its patience, survive its perils, and mold it to your will. You gain proficiency in in Wisdom (perception) and Wisdom (survival) checks if you did not have it already. You also gain proficiency with mason's tools.

Shifting Earth

Mimicking the crust of the earth itself, at 3rd level, you gain the ability to harden parts of your skin to serve different functions. Once per short rest or long rest, you can pick one of the following abilities for your Shifting Earth to manifest. Choose one of the following:

Fists of Stone. You gain a +1  bonus to all unarmed strikes.

Bracers of Slate. You gain a +2 bonus to AC.

Cast Off Earth. You gain a +10 foot bonus to movement speed.

Boundless Expanse

Starting at 6th level, you have advantage on saving throws against being grappled and knocked prone.

Earthen Sight

Beginning at 11th level, you gain tremor sense in a radius of 10 feet.

Grow the Mountains

At 17th level, you are able to move the living earth within not only yourself but other creatures. When you hit a creature with an Unarmed Strike, you can spend 5 ki points to cause it to resonate with the ground around them. When you use this action, the creature must make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, a target begins to turn to stone and is restrained. The restrained target must repeat the saving throw at the end of its next turn. If it fails, the target is petrified until freed by the greater restoration spell or other magic. If it succeeds, the effect ends on the target.
