Monk

You have mastery of certain types of martial arts. You gain the following traits when unarmed, or wielding only monk weapons. Monk weapons are shortswords and any simple melee weapons that aren't two-handed or heavy.

• You may use DEX instead of STR for the attack and damage rolls of your unarmed strikes and monk weapons.

• You may roll 1d4 instead of the normal damage for your unarmed strike or monk weapon. This is your martial die.

• When using the attack action with an unarmed strike or monk weapon on your turn, you may use your bonus action to make an additional unarmed strike.

While you are not wearing armor or wielding a shield, your AC equals 10 + DEX + WIS.

Your training allows you to harness the energy of ki. You have a maximum amount of ki points equal to your monk level. You may spend these points to fuel various ki features. You regain all ki points at the end of a short rest, during which you need to spend 30 minutes meditating. You gain the following abilities:

• Flurry of Blows. After you take the attack action, as a bonus action, you may spend 1 ki point to make two unarmed strikes.

• Patient Defense. As a bonus action, you may spend 1 ki point to take the dodge action.

• Step of the Wind. As a bonus action, you may spend 1 ki point to take the disengage or dash action, and your jump distance is doubled for this turn.

• Ki Save DC. 8 + proficiency + WIS.

Your speed increases by 10ft. while you are not wearing armor or wielding a shield.

At the end of a short rest, you may touch one weapon and count that weapon as a monk weapon until you use this feature again. The weapon must be a simple or martial weapon, you must be proficient in it and it may not have the heavy or special properties.

Choose a subclass:

You may use your reaction to deflect or catch a missile when you are hit by a ranged weapon attack. When you do so, the damage is reduced by 1d10 + DEX + your monk level. If you reduce the damage to 0 this way, you may catch the missile if you have at least one hand free. You may spend 1 ki point to make a ranged attack with a range of 20ft./60ft. using the weapon or ammunition you caught, as part of the same reaction. You make this attack with proficiency, and the missile counts as a monk weapon for the attack.

Whenever you spend 1 ki point as part of your action on your turn, you may make one attack with an unarmed strike or monk weapon as a bonus action before the end of that turn.

You may increase one ability score by 2, or two ability scores by 1. Optionally, you may forego this improvement and choose a feat instead.

When you miss an attack roll, you may spend up to 3 ki points to increase your attack roll by 2 per ki point, potentially turning the miss into a hit.
