* When you hit a creature with an unarmed strike, you can empower the strike, making the attack deal 1d4 additional damage of the same type as the attack. This damage increases when you reach certain monk levels to 2d4 at 11th level and 3d4 at 17th level.
* As a bonus action, you command this energy to from a shield around you or another creature you can see within 10 feet of you, granting them temporary hit points equal to your monk level until the start of your next turn.
* At the start of the turn, you may draw on this power to prevent ground made of earth from hindering you. You ignore difficult terrain made of sand, earth, or rocks until the start of your next turn.

#### Stalwart Protector
Starting at 11th level, when an attack would target a creature within 5 feet of you, 
before the results of the roll have been announced, as a reaction you may spend 2 ki to change the target of the attack to you and you gain resistance to all damage dealt by this attack.
