Way of Shifting Shape
Oversized Fists
Starting at 3rd level, as a bonus action, you can expend 1 ki point to inflate your fists so they become oversized for 10 minutes. You need to expend a bonus action at the start of each of your turns to maintain them inflated; if you don't, your hands return to their normal size.
While your fists are inflated, you gain the following benefits :
- You can use your wisdom modifier instead of your strength modifier when you make a strength check, a strength saving throw or an unarmed strike.
- You count as one size bigger for grapple and shove attacks you make.
- When you push a creature with a shove attack, you can push it 15 feet away instead of 5.
- Your unarmed strikes deal an extra bludgeoning damage equal to your martial art die.
Elastic Limbs
Beginning at 6th level, you can expend 1 ki point during your turn to elongate your limbs. When you do so, your reach and your jump distance both increase by 25 feet. Those benefits end at the end of the turn, as your arms and legs return to their normal size. If you were grappling a creature, that creature is pulled 25 feet towards you when your limbs return to their normal size.
Way of Shifting Shape
Monks that follow the way of the shifting shape learn how to gain a complete control over their body. By focusing their mind, they can distort, elongate or enlarge their limbs.
Superior Strength
When you reach 11th level, your strength is tenfold even more when you inflate your fists! When you use your Oversized Fists feature, you also gain the following benefits :
- You gain advantage to strength checks.
- Your carry capacity is doubled.
- When you make a shove attack against a creature, you can also attempt to shove each other creatures that are within 5 feet of your first target as part of the same attack.
- When you make a successful shove against a creature, your target takes bludgeoning damage equal to your martial art die.
Giant Self
Starting at 17th level, you can expend 5 ki points to unleash your true power as a bonus action, and become Huge for 10 min. When you do so, you gain the benefits of your Oversized Fists and Superior Strength features as long as you are Huge (you don't have to use a bonus action each turn to maintain them). Moreover, you also gain the following benefits :
- Your reach increases by 10 feet.
- You gain 25 temporary hit points.
You return to your normal size at the end of the duration. You can choose to return to your normal size early as a bonus action. Once you return to your normal size, you can't use this feature again until you finish a long rest.
