• (a) a jian or (b) any simple weapon
• (a) a dungeoneer's pack or (b) an explorer's pack
• (a) a war fan or (b) 10 darts

Unarmored Defense

Beginning at 1st level, while you are wearing no armor and not wielding a shield, your AC equals 10 + your Dexterity modifier + your Wisdom modifier.

Martial Arts

At 1st level, your practice of martial arts gives you mastery of combat styles that use unarmed strikes and monk weapons, which are claw bracers, jians, shortswords, war fans, and any simple melee weapons that don’t have the two-handed or heavy property.

You gain the following benefits while you are unarmed or wielding only monk weapons and you aren’t wearing armor or wielding a shield:

• You can use Dexterity instead of Strength for the attack and damage rolls of your unarmed strikes and monk weapons.
• You can roll a d4 in place of the normal damage of your unarmed strike or monk weapon. This die changes as you gain monk levels, as shown in the Martial Arts column of the Monk table.
• When you use the Attack action with an unarmed strike or a monk weapon on your turn, you can make one unarmed strike as a bonus action. For example, if you take the Attack action and attack with a quarterstaff, you can also make an unarmed strike as a bonus action, assuming you haven't already taken a bonus action this turn.

Certain monasteries use specialized forms of the monk weapons. For example, you might use a club that is two lengths of wood connected by a short chain (called a nunchaku) or a sickle with a shorter, straighter blade (called a kama). Whatever name you use for a monk weapon, you can use the game statistics provided for the weapon.

Unarmored Movement

Starting at 2nd level, your speed increases by 10 feet while you are not wearing armor or wielding a shield. This bonus increases when you reach certain monk levels, as shown in the Monk table.

At 9th level, you gain the ability to move along vertical surfaces and across liquids on your turn without falling during the move.

Ki

Starting at 2nd level, your training allows you to harness the mystic energy of ki. Your access to this energy is represented by a number of ki points. Your monk level determines the number of points you have, as shown in the Ki Points column of the Monk table.

You can spend these points to fuel various ki features. You start knowing three such features: Flurry of Blows, Patient Defense, and Step of the Wind. You learn more ki features as you gain levels in this class.

When you spend a ki point, it is unavailable until you finish a short or long rest, at the end of which you draw all of your expended ki back into yourself. You must spend at least 30 minutes of the rest meditating to regain your ki points.

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

Some of your ki features require your target to make a saving throw to resist the feature’s effects. The saving throw DC is calculated as follows:

Ki save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus +

your Wisdom modifier

Flurry of Blows

Immediately after you take the Attack action on your turn, you can spend 1 ki point to make two unarmed strikes as a bonus action.

Patient Defense

You can spend 1 ki point to take the Dodge action as a bonus action on your turn.

Step of the Wind

You can spend 1 ki point to take the Disengage or Dash action as a bonus action on your turn, and your jump distance is doubled for the turn.

Dedicated Weapon

Also at 2nd level, you train yourself to use a variety of weapons as monk weapons. Whenever you finish a short or long rest, you can touch one weapon, focus your ki on it, and then count that weapon as a monk weapon until you use this feature again. You must be proficient with the chosen weapon, and it cannot have the heavy and special properties.

Deflect Missiles

This reaction allows you to deflect or catch the missile when you are hit by a ranged weapon attack. When you do so, the damage you take from the attack is reduced by 1d10 + your Dexterity modifier + your monk level.

If you reduce the damage to 0, you can catch the missile if it is small enough for you to hold in one hand and you have at least one hand free. If you catch a missile in this way, you can spend 1 ki point to make a ranged attack with the weapon or piece of ammunition you just caught, as part of the same reaction. You make this attack with proficiency, regardless of your weapon proficiencies, and the missile counts as a monk weapon for the attack, which has a normal range of 20 feet and a long range of 60 feet.

Gentle Palm

You've mastered the art of narrowly deflecting incoming blows. Whenever another creature hits you with a melee attack, you can use your reaction to add +2 to your AC for that attack, potentially causing the attack to miss you.

Hawk Seeks Prey

Hiding from your keen senses becomes all but impossible. Whenever a creature within 60 feet of you that you are aware of attempts to Hide, you may use a reaction to take the Search action and search for them.

Slow Fall

You can use your reaction when you fall to reduce any falling damage you take by an amount equal to five times your monk level. If you still take fall damage from the triggering fall, it does not knock you prone.

Bear Watches Over

Prerequisite: 5th level
You become a retaliatory force on the battlefield. Whenever a creature within your reach attacks an ally, you can use your reaction to make an unarmed strike against the attacking creature.

Cascading Strikes

Prerequisite: 5th level
When you successfully land both attacks granted by your Flurry of Blows, you may spend an additional ki point to make a third unarmed strike as a reaction, which counts as an attack granted by Flurry of Blows for the purposes of other features.

Focused Aim

Prerequisite: 5th level
You focus your perception to the very instant you make your attack, making minute adjustments to assure the blow hits. When you miss with an attack roll, you can spend 1 to 3 ki points to increase your attack roll by 2 for each of these ki points you spend, potentially turning the miss into a hit.

Monkey Step

Prerequisite: 5th level
You become difficult to pin down during a fight. You can move up to half your movement speed as a reaction when an enemy ends its turn within 5 feet of you. This movement doesn't provoke opportunity attacks.

Tiger Pounces

Prerequisite: 5th level
Your predatory instincts keep your opponents from escaping. Whenever a hostile creature moves out of your reach, you can use your reaction to leap up to half your movement speed towards them, landing in an unoccupied space adjacent to the target. This movement doesn't provoke opportunity attacks. The creature must then succeed on a Strength saving throw, or be knocked prone.

Panther Stalks the Quarry

Prerequisite: 11th Level
When you are forcibly moved, if the source of the effect was an adjacent creature, you can use a reaction to spend 2 ki and force that creature to make a Strength saving throw or be moved the same distance along side you. If the triggering creature is grappled by you, this movement does not break the grapple.

Part the Weave

Prerequisite: 11th level
Your knowledge of magic and its users allows you to react swiftly to their machinations, and even use your ki to disrupt their work. Whenever a creature within your reach begins casting a spell, you can spend 3 ki points to make an unarmed strike against them as a reaction. On a hit, they take damage as normal, and you attempt to disrupt the spell's magic. If the creature is casting a spell of 3rd level or lower, its spell fails and has no effect. If it is casting a spell of 4th level or higher, make a Wisdom ability check. The DC is equal to 10 + the spell's level. On a success, the creature's spell fails and has no effect.

Snake Strike

Prerequisite: 11th level
You learn to strike like a cobra at any openings your enemies present. Whenever a creature misses you with a melee attack roll, you can use your reaction to make an unarmed strike against them.

Turn the Tide

Prerequisite: 11th level
This reaction lets you spend 1 ki point to divert the force of a melee weapon attack you are hit by. When you do so, the damage you take from the attack is reduced by 1d10 + your Dexterity modifier + your monk level.

If you reduce the damage to 0, you can divert the attack completely if you have at least one hand free. If you divert an attack in this way, you can spend 1 ki point to make an unarmed strike against the attacking creature as part of the same reaction.

Flash Focus Defense

Prerequisite: 17th Level
Your focus hones to a razor's edge, helping you roll with punches before they are even thrown. When an attacker that you can see hits you with an attack, you can use your reaction to halve the attack's damage against you.

Specter Haunts the Spirit

Prerequisite: 17th Level
As a reaction when you or another creature within 30 feet of you teleports or is shunted to another plane of existance, if the source of the effect was created by a creature, you may spend 4 ki points to attune to their ki and also be shunted, appearing in an unoccupied space nearest to the target.

Still Lake's Surface

Prerequisite: 17th Level
When a creature within your reach begins to activate a magical effect, you may use your reaction to expend 5 ki and totally sever their connection to the weave. The target must succeed on a Charisma saving throw, or the triggering effect fails and is wasted. Moreover, on a failed save, the target loses the ability to cast spells and ongoing magical effects (other than this one) on the creature are suppressed until the start of your next turn. The powers and properties of magic items in the target's possession are suppressed until the start of your next turn.

Way of the Open Hand

Monks of the Way of the Open Hand are the ultimate masters of martial arts combat. They learn techniques to push and trip their opponents, manipulate ki to heal their bodies, and practice advanced meditation that shields them from harm.

Quivering Palm

At 17th level, you gain the ability to set up lethal vibrations in someone’s body. When you hit a creature with an unarmed strike, you can spend 3 ki points to start these imperceptible vibrations, which last for a number of days equal to your monk level. The vibrations are harmless unless you use your action to end them. To do so, you and the target must be on the same plane of existence. When you use this action, the creature must make a Constitution saving throw. If it fails, it is reduced to 0 hit points. If it succeeds, it takes 10d10 necrotic damage.

You can have only one creature under the effect of this feature at a time. You can choose to end the vibrations harmlessly without using an action.

Way of the Argent Fist

The Argent Fist uses ki energy to channel radiant power, healing the injured and blasting unclean creatures. In the world of Eberron, this tradition was first mastered by followers of the Silver Flame, and the the Silver Forge has a number of fortress monasteries spread across Thrane. However, a follower of the Way of the Argent Fist could also be a champion of gods of light such as Liphan, Branchalla, Helm, or Apollo, or simply a monk trained in combat against horrors of the world.

Radiant Embrace

At 17th level, as an action, you stoke the embers within you into a torrent of holy fire. For 1 minute, you gain the following benefits:

• While you benefit from your Wrath of the Argent feature, you are immune to radiant damage.
• While you have at least 1 hit point, you gain hit points equal to your Wisdom modifier at the start each of your turns.
• When you deal radiant damage to a shapechanger with an unarmed strike or a monk weapon and they are not in their true form, they must make a saving throw against your Ki save DC or be forcibly reverted to their original form.
• Your monk weapon attacks and unarmed strikes score critical hits on a 19 or 20. Against a fiend, monstrosity, or undead creature, you score critical hits with your monk weapon attacks and unarmed strikes on a roll of 18-20.
• When you activate this effect, you can immediately use your bonus action to use your Flurry of Blows.

Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a long rest, or until you use 5 ki to use it again.

Do the Impossible

When you take this tradition at 3rd level, you gain the ability to harness the energy inside you to succeed when there seems to be no hope in sight of doing so. When you would fail an ability check or saving throw, you may use your reaction to spark the constantly turning energy inside you.
When you do this, you learn how far off your roll
was from the DC required to succeed.

When you do this, you can choose to spend a number
of ki points equal to half the difference between your roll
and the DC required to succeed
(rounded up) to choose to treat
your roll as a success.

See the
Invisible

Upon reaching 6th
level, your eyes pierce
with the fury of your soul.
Few can shy from your
gaze so long as your eyes
burn with the fire of
your soul. You can spend
2 ki points to cast the spell
see invisibility.

In addition to the normal benefits of the spells effects, when you cast see invisiblity in this way you also gain advantage on Wisdom (perception) checks made to detect hidden creatures for the duration of the spell.

Touch the Untouchable

Once you've reached level 11, you have learned the ability to force your towering energy into your strikes, and reach out at those who attempt to evade you. When you expend your energy, your inner willpower manifests as large spinning spears of energy on your hands and around your wrists.

When you expend a ki point in any way, for the next minute your unarmed strikes have their reach increased by 5 feet, and deal piercing damage instead of its normal damage type.

Break the Unbreakable

Finally at 17th level, your pure force of will is unimaginable. When you hit a creature with an attack, you may narrow all of your will to win to empower your strike and deal an extra 1d8 force damage for every ki point you have less than your maximum, as your incredible will is empowered the more dire the situation. You may use this ability once, and cannot do so again until you complete a long rest or are critically struck.

Frigid Ki

When you adopt this tradition at 3rd level, you learn how to chill your ki to better suit the coldest stretches of the plane. You gain the following benefits.

Frigid Strikes. When you make an unarmed strike or an attack with a monk weapon, you can choose to make the damage cold instead of its normal type.

Reflexive Adaptation. When you take cold damage, you can use your reaction to spend 1 ki point to halve that instance of cold damage.

Tundra Traveler. You become naturally adapted to cold climates, granting you immunity to wilderness hazards associated with the cold, and the effects of extreme cold. Moreover, you ignore difficult terrain made of ice or snow.

Lessons of the Rime Warden

Also at 3rd level, you learn the ancient techniques necessary of the first Rime Warden. When you make your first attack on your turn, you can decide to channel your frost ki until the start of your next turn. While you channel your frost ki, hitting a creature with a Frigid Strike reduces the target's speed by 5 feet until the end of their next turn. If you hit a target whose speed has been reduced to 0 while you are channeling your frost ki, you can force the target to make a Constitution saving throw or become restrained until the end of their next turn.

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier (a minimum of once), and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest. While you have no more uses, you can spend 1 ki point to reuse this feature.

Additionally, you learn from the stories of the first Rime Warden. You gain proficiency in your choice of History, Persuasion or Survival.

Subzero Ki

By 6th level, your frigid ki becomes even more pure. Your Frigid Strikes ignore resistance to cold damage.

Additionally, you can use your Reflexive Adaptation on a willing creature within 30 feet of you when they take cold damage. If multiple creatures take cold damage from the same source, you can use multiple reactions for the same instance of cold damage, spending ki for each target.

Finally, when you channel your frost ki, you reduce the target's speed by 10 feet, instead of 5.

Frost Sentinel

At 11th level, you learn how to manipulate other's life energy to inure them. At the end of a long rest, you can choose a number of willing creatures within 30 feet of you, up to your Wisdom modifier. You and your chosen targets gain the benefit of your Tundra Traveler feature, and gain temporary hit points equal to your Wisdom modifier + your monk level. While a creature has these temporary hit points, the targets gain resistance to cold damage.

Additionally, when you channel your frost ki, you reduce the target's speed by 15 feet, instead of 10, and your Frigid Strikes treat immunity to cold damage as resistance instead.

Absolute Zero

By 17th level, you have refined your frigid ki to the point of perfection. You gain the following benefits.

• When you use your Reflexive Adaption, you grant the target immunity to cold damage, including against the triggering effect, until the start of your next turn.
• When you channel your frost ki, you reduce the target's speed by 20 feet instead of 15.
• Your Frigid Strikes ignore resistance and immunity to cold damage.
• Once per turn, when you hit a creature with a Frigid Strike, you can expend 2 ki points to completely sap the heat from them. The target must succeed on a Constitution saving throw or gain a level of exhaustion. Any levels of exhaustion gained in this way are removed if the creature completes a short or long rest, but only if they aren't in an environment of extreme cold. A creature who dies from exhaustion while they have a level of exhaustion from this feature freezes over. A corpse frozen in this way is considered an invalid target for the purposes of being revived or raised as an undead. The corpse can only be thawed by taking 50 fire damage from a single source.

Bonus Proficiencies

When you choose this tradition at 3rd level, you begin to reflect more deeply on your experiences and find a creative outlet to channel your energy. You gain proficiency in Insight, or Performance if you already have proficiency with Insight. You also gain proficiency with one set of artisan's tools or one instrument.

Pain

Also at 3rd level, as you start your healing process, your wounds are more raw. You react to stress by lashing out - a sign that you are fighting through your struggles rather than surrendering to them.

As a reaction to being hit with a melee attack, you can spend 1 ki point to make a single unarmed strike at advantage.

Hope

At 6th level, even when things seem their darkest, you don't give into despair. If you succeed on a death saving throw, you can immediately regain 1 hit point. Once you use this ability, you can't use it again until you complete a long rest.

Acceptance

When you reach 11th level, you make peace with your trauma. You may not like the fact that you went through what you did, but you accept that it is now a part of you, and that it allowed you to grow from your experience.

You gain the Turn the Tide heightened reflex, which doesn't count against the number of reflexes you know. If you use Turn the Tide and reduce the incoming damage to 0, you can gain temporary hit points equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum of 1) instead of spending ki to make an unarmed strike as a reaction. These temporary hit points are not removed at the end of a long rest, however you lose these temporary hit points if you ever use your reaction to make an unarmed strike as a part of Turn the Tide, or if you use your reaction to use your Pain feature.

Forgiveness

At 17th level, you reach the final stage of your journey - learning to show compassion and forgive those that wronged you, even if that person is yourself.

When you reduce a creature to 0 hit points and choose to do so nonlethally, you can cause it to no longer be a threat when it awakens. When you do so, the creature loses all features that allow it to deal damage or affect an unwilling creature (such as multiattack, heated body, or shapeshifting), weapon proficiencies, and spellcasting. Any natural weapons become improvised weapons that deal 1d4 damage, with no other effects. These effects can only be reversed by a surge of rejuvenation spell.

Additionally, the target is freed from any mind-altering effects it suffers from, such as madness or a geas spell.

Sparing a creature this way grants you temporary hit points equal to double its challenge rating or level (whichever is higher). These temporary hit points are not removed at the end of a long rest.

Finally, you have learned how to move on from your trauma, and not let it color your actions. You no longer lose the temporary hit points from your Acceptance feature if you use your reaction to make an unarmed strike as a part of Turn the Tide, or if you use your reaction to use your Pain feature.

Constricting Vice

At 3rd level, you learn to ensnare your foes, crushing the life from them. You can choose to use your Dexterity modifier instead of your Strength modifier when you make a Strength (Athletics) check. Once per turn when you hit a creature with one of the attacks granted by your Flurry of Blows feature, you can choose to attempt to grapple the target.

When a creature you are grappling attempts and fails to break free of your grapple, you can spend 1 ki point as a reaction to constrict them, dealing bludgeoning damage equal to your Martial Arts die + your Dexterity modifier. The target is also restrained until the start of your next turn or until the grapple ends.

Ophidian Stance

At 6th level, you learn to adapt your body to the movements of the more advanced techniques of this style. You can move at full speed while you are prone, and you gain the benefits of the Disengage action while you are prone. You can stand up from prone without spending additional movement. When you are the target of an attack, you can use your reaction and spend 1 ki point to stand up from prone or drop prone before the attack roll is made.

Eyes of the Serpent

At 11th level, your reptilian ki infuses your eyes, sharpening your vision and causing your pupils to become snake-like slits. You gain darkvision out to 60 feet, and your darkvision is not impeded by magical darkness. As an action, you can attempt to transfix a target that can see you, overpowering their senses with your mental influence. The target must make a Wisdom saving throw against your Ki save DC. If it fails, it is charmed by you until the start of your next turn. You can use this feature on a creature who failed its saving throw against this effect in the previous round as a bonus action on your next turn. A creature who succeeds on its saving throw is immune to the effect to this feature for 1 minute.

Additionally, when you make a Charisma ability check or Wisdom (Insight) check to socially interact with another creature, you may use your reaction to attempt to charm them in the same way, potentially granting advantage on the triggering check.

Medusa's Gaze

By 17th level, you have learned to emulate the gaze of one of the most infamous serpentine creatures. When you hit a creature charmed by you with an unarmed strike, you can spend 2 ki points to force them to make a Constitution saving throw. If they fail, they are paralyzed until the end of their next turn.

If you critically hit the target, you may spend 3 ki points to petrify the target instead. You cast the flesh to stone spell on the target without any components, however your eyes flash with the malevolent gaze of the medusa. The target has disadvantage on their saving throws to avoid this petrification if they are grappled by you.

Insights of the Tide

Starting when you choose this tradition at 3rd level, you learn some insights from the floes of magic itself. You gain the following benefits:

Read the Waters. You can use your Wisdom in place of your Intelligence when you make a Intelligence (Arcana) check. Additionally, you can expend 1 ki to cast detect magic.

Ripples of Magic. When you succeed on a saving throw against a magical effect that originated from a creature you can see within 30 feet of you, you can use your reaction to spend 1 ki to redirect the residual magic. That creature must make a Charisma saving throw. On a failed save, the creature takes force damage equal to your Martial Arts die plus your Wisdom modifier.

Calm the Waves

At 6th level, you learn to use your ki to still the flow of magic. When a creature within your reach begins casting a spell, you can use your reaction to make an unarmed strike against the target. If the attack hits, the target takes damage as normal, and you can expend 1 ki point to force that creature to make a Charisma saving throw or suffer one of the following effects (your choice).

Dam Magic. The target loses their lowest level spell slot. If they have no remaining spell slots, they take force damage equal to your Martial Arts die plus your Wisdom modifier.

Disrupt Magic. The target has disadvantage on saving throws to maintain concentration on the triggering spell.

Still Magic. If the spell requires an attack roll, it is made with disadvantage. If the spell requires a saving throw, it is made with advantage.

Complete Stillness

Beginning at 11th level, your mastery of your own body extends to how you interact with the flow of magic. You can use your Stillness of Mind feature to repeat a saving throw against one magical effect afflicting you. You suffer no consequences (such as taking damage) for failing this saving throw. Once you end a magical effect due to this feature, you cannot use it again until you complete a short or long rest.

Perfect Placidity

At 17th level, you master the art of controlling the flow of magic in other creatures. You can use your Calm the Waves feature whenever a creature uses a magical effect, and it causes the following additional effects if the creature fails its saving throw.

Dam Magic. You regain hit points equal to twice the level of the spell. If the effect was not a spell, you gain hit points equal to the challenge rating or level of the creature it originated from (whichever is higher). If this healing would go over your maximum hit points, you gain the remainder as temporary hit points.

Disrupt Magic. The target has disadvantage on Constitution saving throws for 1 minute. The target must repeat their saving throw at the end of each turn, ending this extra effect on a success.

Still Magic. The effect's range is halved. If the effect has an area of effect, each measurement in the area calculation is halved for the duration.

Luminous Soul

Starting when you choose this tradition at 3rd level, you emit a radiant light that comes from your very soul. You shed bright light in a 10-foot radius and dim light for an additional 10 feet. You can extinguish or restore the light as a bonus action. The radius of both the bright and dim light increases by 5 feet when your unarmored movement increases, as shown in the Monk table.

When you reach 10th level, this light becomes sunlight.

Radiant Arts

Also at 3rd level, you learn techniques to utilize your radiant soul. You gain the following features.

Solar Flare. When you are targeted with an attack by a creature within the bright light of your Luminous Soul feature, you can use your reaction to force them to make a Constitution saving throw against your ki save DC or make the attack at disadvantage as your inner light flares up. A creature who is immune to the blinded condition automatically succeeds.

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier (a minimum of once), and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest. While you have no uses available, you can spend 1 ki point to use this feature again.

Sun Bolt. You gain a new attack option. This special attack is a ranged spell attack with a range of 30 feet, and counts as an unarmed strike for the purposes of other features. You can choose to add Wisdom, instead of Strength or Dexterity, to its attack and damage rolls, and it deals radiant damage.

The range of this attack increases by 5 feet when your unarmored movement increases, as shown in the Monk table.

Searing Arc Strike

At 6th level, you gain the ability to channel your ki into searing waves of energy. You can spend 2 ki points to produce a blinding flash of light in either a 15-foot cone or a 30-foot line that is 5 feet wide (your choice) as a bonus action. Each creature within the area must make a Constitution saving throw against your ki save DC or take 3d6 radiant damage and become blinded until the start of your next turn. A creature who succeeds takes half as much damage and is not blinded.

You can spend additional ki points to make a brighter flash. Each additional ki point you spend increases the damage by 1d6 and range by 5 feet if it is a cone or extends its length 10 feet if it is a line. The maximum number of ki points that you can spend on a Searing Arc Strike equals half of your monk level.

Searing Sunburst

At 11th level, you gain the ability to create an orb of light that erupts into a devastating explosion. When you take the attack action, you can forgo all of your attacks to magically create an orb and hurl it at a point you choose within 150 feet, where it erupts into a sphere of radiant light for a brief, deadly instant.

Each creature in that 20-foot radius sphere must succeed on a Constitution saving throw against your ki save DC or take radiant damage equal to two rolls of your Martial Arts die. A creature doesn't need to make the save if the creature is behind total cover that is opaque.

You can increase the sphere’s damage by spending ki points. Each point you spend, to a maximum of 3, increases the damage by two dice.

Sun Shield

By 17th level, the light that emenates from your soul shelters your allies and sears your foes. If a creature hits another creature that's within the bright light from your Luminous Soul feature, you can use your reaction to deal radiant damage to the attacking creature. The radiant damage equals a roll of your Martial Arts die + your Wisdom modifier.

Way of the Four Elements

You follow a monastic tradition that teaches you to harness the elements. When you focus your ki, you can align yourself with the forces of creation and bend the four elements to your will, using them as an extension of your body. Some members of this tradition dedicate themselves to a single element, but others weave the elements together.

Many monks of this tradition tattoo their bodies with representations of their ki powers, commonly imagined as coiling dragons, but also as phoenixes, plants, mountains, fish, and cresting waves.

Spells not found in the Player's Handbook are marked, and can be found in the following sources according to the table below:
^BD = Blazing Dawn
^COFSA = The Compendium of Forgotten Secrets: Awakening
^COW = Codex of Waves
^EE = Elemental Evil's Player Copmpanion
^M4 = Mashiro's Monstrous Manual of Magic

Initiate of the Way

When you choose this tradition at 3rd level, you learn how to manipulate the four elements in subtle ways. You learn two of the following cantrips: control flames ^EE, gust ^EE, mold
earth ^EE, or shape water ^EE. You learn two additional cantrips from this list at 6th level.

At 11th level, you learn two of the following cantrips: aquabolt ^COW, magic stone ^EE, produce flame, or
thunderclap ^EE. You learn two additional cantrips from this list at 17th level.

Wisdom is your spellcasting ability for these spells.

Disciple of the Elements

At 3rd level, you learn magical disciplines that harness the power of the four elements. Some disciplines require you to spend ki points when you use them.

You learn two elemental disciplines of your choice, which are detailed in the elemental disciplines sections below. You learn two additional elemental disciplines of your choice at 6th, 11th, and 17th level.

Whenever you learn a new elemental discipline, you can also replace one elemental discipline that you already know with a different discipline.

When you use your action to use an elemental discipline or cast a cantrip through your Initiate of the Way feature, you can make one unarmed strike as a bonus action, or you can use your Flurry of Blows.

Casting Elemental Spells. Some elemental disciplines allow you to cast spells. See chapter 10 of the Player's Handbook for the general rules of spellcasting. To cast one of these spells, you use its casting time and other rules, but you don't need to provide material components for it. When you cast a spell with a discipline, it is cast at the spell’s lowest level unless otherwise specified.

Once you reach 5th level in this class, you can spend additional ki points to increase the level of an elemental discipline spell that you cast, provided that the spell has an enhanced effect at a higher level, as burning hands does. The spell’s level increases by 1 for each additional ki point you spend. For example, if you are a 5th-level monk and use Sweeping Cinder Strike to cast burning hands, you can spend 2 ki points to cast it as a 2nd-level spell (the discipline’s base cost of 1 ki point plus 1).

The maximum number of ki points (its base ki point cost plus any additional points) that you can spend on the spell is 2, unless a discipline specifies otherwise. This maximum increases to 3 at 9th level, 4 at 13th level, and 5 at 17th level.
