Burning Soul

At 3rd Level, you feel the Heat of a fiery Dragon.

Whenever you make two attacks successively during your turn, you gain "Heat". You can use Heat to either:

  • When you hit with an unarmed strike or a monk weapon, you can expend your Heat to deal an extra die of damage.
  • When you are hit by a melee attack, you can expend your Heat as a reaction to reduce the damage by your Constitution modifier + your monk level.

Heat cannot stack, and lasts until the end of your next turn.

Stunning Parry

At 6th Level, you learn a technique to break enemy attacks.

When you are hit by a melee attack, you can use your reaction to spend 1 Ki point to reduce the damage of the attack. You can reduce the damage of the attack by 1d10 + your Dexterity modifier + your Monk level. If you reduce the damage of the attack to 0, the target has to make a Constitution saving throw or be stunned until the end of your next turn.

Draconic Endurance

At 11th Level, your Heat now grants you the endurance of a Dragon.

On your turn, by expending your Heat, you can roll a Hit Die as a bonus action to restore your own hit points as if you had finished a short rest. You also gain Temporary Hit Points equal to the amount healed.

Dragon Drop

At 17th Level, you perfect your technique so that it could take down dragons.

When using Stunning Parry, If you reduce the damage of the attack to 0, you can instead spend another Ki Point to make a special unarmed attack. The damage of this attack is equal to double the total to reduce damage and the target must succeed on a Strength saving throw or be pushed 15ft away from you.
