## Ronin Keepsake
A keepsake is bound to you, it defines who you are and what you stand for. A Ronin is a term for a Student who has abandoned their Master and gone their on way. Together with these ideologies you become a force no mortal should dare to cross paths with.

Beginning at 3rd level you choose a Martial Melee weapon you are holding and bond with it over a long rest. You become proficient with the weapon and it is considered a Monk Weapon, you can also choose to use your Monk Die in place of its normal Dice. The Keepsake can Summoned or Dismissed as a Free Action to you, the weapon is stored in its own pocket dimension. Additionally when you gain the *Ki-Empowered Strikes* feature at 6th level, it also applies to your Keepsake Weapon.

Additionally when using moves that allow you to make extra attacks like Bonus Action Unarmed strike or Flurry of Blows you can use your Keepsake Weapon instead.

Each time you level up you can change your weapon for another martial weapon over the course of a long rest.

## Dark slayer
You harness you inner Ki and focus it on to your Keepsake, with it you are able to perform spectacular and dazzling moves.

Also at 3rd level you can perform certain moves with your weapon, you gain more moves as you level up.

#### Judgement cut
You can send a swipe of Force energy from your sword. You can make a ranged spell attack with your Keepsake at a range of 90ft dealing Force damage with your Wisdom Modifier instead of its normal modifier. When using extra attacks like *Bonus Attack Unarmed Strike* or *Flurry of Blows*, you can make additional ranged attacks with your Keepsake with those moves

#### Ronin Strike
You gain the ability to use the *Force Dart* Cantrip.

#### Deflect Spell
When attacked by a long range spell attack. You can as a reaction parry the attack and attempt to send the remaining damage back. You reduce the damage by 1d10 + Wisdom Modifier + Monk Level. If the damage is reduced to 0 you can spend a Ki point within the same reaction to deflect the remaining spell back at a range of 30/90ft. The target takes damage equal to your Martial Arts Dice + Wisdom Modifier and its original damage type.

#### Point Warp
As an Action you can throw your weapon at a distance of 60ft to a point of your choice. Once the weapon lands at the point you can spend 2 Ki points to teleport to the weapon within the same Action. if for some reason you cannot land at the point of your choice you land 5ft anywhere next to the point.
