Path of the Reckless Spear
When you choose this tradition at 3rd level, your special martial arts training leads you to master the use of an unpredictable yet vicious fighting style that is focused on a single weapon type. You gain the following benefits.
Reckless Proficiency. Your training gives you reckless proficiency with a special weapon: choose one melee weapon. This weapon can be any simple or martial weapon, providing that it lacks the heavy and special properties. You gain proficiency with this weapon if you don’t already have it. Weapons of the chosen type is a monk weapons for you. Many of this tradition’s features work only with your reckless weapon.
Agile Parry. If you make an unarmed strike as part of the Attack action on your turn and are holding your reckless weapon, you can use it to defend yourself . You gain a +2 bonus to AC until the start of your next turn, while the weapon is in your hand and you aren’t incapacitated.
Reckless Abandon. Starting at 2nd level, you can throw aside all concern for defense to attack with reckless abandon. When you make your first attack on your turn, you can decide to attack recklessly. Doing so gives you advantage on melee weapon attack rolls using your reckless weapon during this turn, but attack rolls against you have advantage until your next turn.
Sharpen the Spear
At 6th level, you extend your ki into your reckless weapons, granting you the following benefits.
Magic Reckless Weapon. Your attacks with your reckless weapons count as magical for the purpose of overcoming resistance and immunity to nonmagical attacks and damage.
Empassioned Strike. You can choose to harness your emotions to damage your opponent. When you hit a target with a reckless weapon, you can spend 1 ki point to cause the weapon to deal extra damage to the target equal to your Martial Arts die. You can use this feature only once on each of your turns.
Wild Strike.
At 11th level, you learn to throw caution to the wind and to wildly strike at the heart of your enemy. You can expend up to 3 ki points to imbue one reckless weapon attack with your emotional energy. You take a -5 penalty to the attack roll, but if the attack hits, you add +10 to the attack's damage.
Inescapable Recklessness
At 17th level, you hone your recklessness into a jagged and unrelenting ferocity. When you take the attack action, you can immediately use your reaction to grant yourself an additional reckless weapon attack at disadvantage, following the completion of your action. This disadvantage is unavoidable and supersedes reckless abandon or any other abilities or feats that might otherwise remove disadvantage on an attack.
