\pagebreakNum

### Unarmored Defense
Beginning at 1st level, while you are wearing no armor and not wielding a shield, your AC equals 10 + your Dexterity + 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 shortswords and any simple melee weapons that don't have the two-handed or heavy property.
##
As long as you are not wearing heavy armor or wielding a shield, your Martial Arts attacks gain the following benefits:
- 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 at levels 5th (d6), 11th (d8) and 17th (d10).
- When you spend 1 Ki point or more as part of your action or 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.
- 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. The chosen weapon must be a simple or martial weapon that you are proficient with it, and it must lack the special property.

### Ki
At 2nd level, you learn to manipulate the spiritual energy that resides within you, known as Ki. You can draw on your ki to perform supernatural physical feats known as techniques.

#### Ki Points
Your inner reserve of Ki is represented by a pool of Ki points. This pool has a total number of Ki points equal to your monk level. You regain expended Ki points when you finish a short or long rest, so long as you spent at least 30 minutes of that rest in spiritual meditation.

#### Techniques Known
At 2nd level, you learn two techniques of your choice from the list at the end of this class description. You learn additional techniques as shown on the monk ability table. Each time you gain a monk level, you can choose a technique you know and replace it with another technique of your choice.

#### Saving Throws
Techniques rely on your mastery over your body, and grow in proportion to your self-control. When a technique requires a saving throw, the saving throw DC is calculated as follows:

**Ki save DC** = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier

</div>

\columnbreak

### Flurry of Blows
At 2nd level, when you take the Attack action, you can spend 1 Ki point to make two unarmed strikes as a bonus action.
<div style='margin-top:-5px'></div>

When you reach 11th level in this class, you can make three unarmed strikes instead of two when you use this feature.

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

### Monastic Tradition
When you reach 3rd level, you commit yourself to a monastic tradition. Your tradition grants you features at 3rd level and again at 6th, 11th, and 17th level. You can choose one of the following options: 
- Way of Mercy -
- Way of the Astral Self 
- Way of the Drunken Master -
- Way of the Elements -
- Way of the Kensei
- Way of the Long Death
- Way of the Open Hand -
- Way of the Shadows
- Way of the Sun Sol -
- Way of the White Lotus -

\pagebreakNum

### Deflect Missiles
Starting at 3rd level, you can use your reaction 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 your Martial Arts Die + your Dexterity + 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 a range of 20/60 using 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.

### Ability Score Improvement
When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th, and 19th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1. As normal, you can't increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.

\columnbreak

### Slow Fall:
Beginning at 4th level, 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.

### Extra Attack
Beginning at 5th level, you can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn.

### Ki-Empowered Strikes
Starting at 5th level, your unarmed strikes count as magical for the purpose of overcoming resistance and immunity to nonmagical attacks and damage.

### Evasion
At 7th level, your instinctive agility lets you dodge out of the way of certain area effects, such as a blue dragon's lightning breath or a fireball spell. 
##
When you are subjected to an effect that allows you to make a Dexterity saving throw to take only half damage, you instead take no damage if you succeed on the saving throw, and only half damage if you fail.

### Tongue of the Sun and Moon
At 9th level, you learn to touch the ki of other minds so that you understand all spoken languages. Moreover, any creature that can understand a language can understand what you say.

### Diamond Soul
At 13th level, your mastery of Ki grants you proficiency in all saving throws. 
##
Additionally, whenever you make a saving throw and fail, you can spend 1 Ki point to reroll it and take the second result.

### Timeless Body
At 15th level, your ki sustains you so that you suffer none of the frailty of old age, and you can't be aged magically. You can still die of old age, however. In addition, you no longer need food or water.

### Black Belt
At 20th level, you have mastered martial arts and the power of Ki. You gain the following benefits:
- You can use your *Flurry of Blows* feature without spending Ki points a number of times equal to your Proficiency Bonus + your Wisdom modifier, you regain expended uses at the end of a long rest.

- Whenever you use your *Flurry of Blows* feature, you also take the dodge action (no action required).
