Monk
Base Class: Monk

Monks that follow the Way of Unity seek to attain oneness within themselves. They believe that a person can become one cohesive whole that is far more than the sum of its parts, to them the completion of this journey is something sacred. As one progresses through the Way of Unity they will become more and more one with themselves.

Unity of Body

You learn to make your body one with itself. As such you can use the benefits of training in one area of your body to assist you with feats related to other aspects of your body. When you make an ability check or saving throw using STR, DEX, or CON you are able to spend a Ki point to replace the modifier used with one of the other three modifiers mentioned.

Unity of Mind

Your mind is united as one cohesive whole, allowing you to use your mental faculties to solve problems and accomplish feats that would normally require other aspects of the mind. When you make an ability check or saving throw using CHA, INT, or WIS you may spend 1 Ki point to use one of the other modifiers mentioned here.

Unity of Mind and Body

Your mind and body act in complete unison at all times. This makes you nearly impossible to surprise and allows you to act incredibly quickly in response to external threats. You gain the following benefits:

  • You cannot be surprised while you are conscious
  • You add your Wisdom modifier to your Initiative rolls
  • You have advantage on saving throws against being charmed or frightened.

Strikes of Mind and Body

You have learned to strike out not with both your mind and body as one. You can spend 3 Ki points to enter a state that unifies the strikes of your mind and body, granting you the following benefits for 1 minute:

  • Attacks from the flurry of blows feature deal and additional martial arts die of psychic damage on hit.
  • When you use the Stunning strike feature while this is active you can force either as WIS or a CON save for the feature.

Complete Oneness

You have mastered the ability to enter a state of total oneness, mind, body and soul seamlessly operate together without distinction. You may spend 5 Ki points to enter this state of oneness and gain the benefits of the Strikes of Mind and Body Feature as well as the following for 1 minute:

  • All damage you deal is force damage and overcomes any resistances to that damage type
  • Instead of dealing extra damage on flurry of blows strikes you deal an extra martial arts die of damage on any hit
  • You gain advantage on all saving throws
