A drunken master sways, tottering on unsteady feet, to present what seems like an incompetent combatant who proves frustrating to engage. The drunken master's erratic stumbles conceal a carefully executed dance of blocks, parries, advances, attacks, and retreats. A drunken master often enjoys playing the fool to bring gladness to the despondent or to demonstrate humility to the arrogant, but when battle is joined, the drunken master can be a maddening, masterful foe. #### Drunkard's Talents When you choose this tradition at 3rd level, your martial arts technique mixes combat training with the precision of a dancer and the antics of a jester.

They see their ki as a representation of their true form, an astral self. This astral self has the capacity to be a force of order or disorder, with some monasteries training students to use their power to protect the weak and other instructing aspirants in how to manifest their true selves in service to the mighty. #### Arms of the Astral Self Starting at 3rd level, Your mastery of your Discipline allows you to summon a portion of your astral self. As a bonus action, you can spend 1 Discipline point to summon the arms of your astral self. When you do so, each creature of your choice that you can see within 10 feet of you must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or take force damage equal to two rolls of your Martial Arts die.

Founded on a mastery of sword fighting, the tradition has expanded to include many different weapons. A kensei sees a weapon in much the same way a calligrapher or painter regards a pen or brush. Whatever the weapon, the kensei views it as a tool used to express the beauty and precision of the martial arts. That such mastery makes a kensei a peerless warrior is but a side effect of intense devotion, practice, and study. \pagebreak #### Path of the Kensei When you choose this tradition at 3rd level, your special martial arts training leads you to master the use of certain weapons. This path also includes instruction in the deft strokes of calligraphy or painting. You gain the following benefits. * **Kensei Weapons.** Choose two types of weapons to be your kensei weapons: one melee weapon and one ranged weapon. Each of these weapons can be any simple or martial weapon that lacks the heavy and special properties. The longbow is also a valid choice. You gain proficiency with these weapons if you don't already have it. Weapons of the chosen types are monk weapons for you. Many of this tradition's features work only with your kensei weapons. When you reach 6th, 11th, and 17th level in this class, you can choose another type of weapon—either melee or ranged—to be a kensei weapon for you, following the criteria above. * **Agile Parry.** If you make an unarmed strike or an attack with a monk weapon as part of the Attack action on your turn and are holding a kensei weapon, you can use it to defend yourself if it is a melee weapon. You gain a +2 bonus to AC until the start of your next turn, while the weapon is in your hand and you aren't incapacitated. * **Kensei's Shot.** You can use a bonus action on your turn to make your ranged attacks with a kensei weapon more deadly.

You retain this benefit until the end of the current turn. * **Way of the Brush.** You gain proficiency with your choice of calligrapher's supplies or painter's supplies. #### One with the Blade At 6th level, you extend your ki into your kensei weapons, granting you the following benefits. * **Magic Kensei Weapons.** Your attacks with your kensei weapons count as magical for the purpose of overcoming resistance and immunity to nonmagical attacks and damage. * **Deft Strike.** When you hit a target with a kensei weapon, you can spend 1 Focus point to cause the weapon to deal extra damage to the target equal to your Martial Arts die. You can use this feature only once on each of your turns. #### Sharpen the Blade At 11th level, You gain the ability to augment your weapons further with your Focus. As a bonus action, you can expend up to 3 Focus points to grant one kensei weapon you touch a bonus to attack and damage rolls when you attack with it.

This feature has no effect on a magic weapon that already has a bonus to attack and damage rolls. #### Unerring Accuracy At 17th level, your mastery of weapons grants you extraordinary accuracy. Once per turn, if you miss with an attack roll while using a monk weapon, you can make another attack with that weapon against the same target with advantage. ### Warrior of Mercy Monks of the Way of Mercy learn to manipulate the life force of others to bring aid to those in need. They are wandering physicians to the poor and hurt. However, to those beyond their help, they bring a swift end as an act of mercy. Those who follow the Way of Mercy might be members of a religious order, administering to the needy and making grim choices rooted in reality rather than idealism. Some might be gentle-voiced healers, beloved by their communities, while others might be masked bringers of macabre mercies. The walkers of this way usually don robes with deep cowls, and they often conceal their faces with masks, presenting themselves as the faceless bringers of life and death. #### Implements of Mercy Starting at 3rd level, You gain proficiency in the Insight and Medicine skills, and you gain proficiency with the herbalism kit. You also gain a special mask, which you often wear when using the features of this subclass.

When you use your Flurry of Blows, you can replace one of the unarmed strikes with a use of this feature. * **Hand of Harm.** When you hit a creature with an unarmed strike, you can deal extra necrotic damage equal to one roll of your Martial Arts die + your Wisdom modifier. You can use this feature only once per turn. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum of once) and regain all expended uses on a long rest. If you have no uses remaining you can spend 1 Discipline point to use it again. \pagebreak #### Physician's Touch At 6th level, You can administer even greater cures with a touch, and if you feel it's necessary, you can use your knowledge to cause harm. When you use Hand of Healing on a creature, you can also end one disease or one of the following conditions affecting the creature: blinded, deafened, paralyzed, poisoned, or stunned. When you use Hand of Harm on a creature, you can subject that creature to the poisoned condition until the end of your next turn. #### Flurry of Healing and Harm At 11th level, You can now mete out a flurry of comfort and hurt. When you use Flurry of Blows, you can now replace each of the unarmed strikes you make on your turn with a use of your Healing hand. This spends only one use of your hands of healing and harm feature. In addition, you can use your harming hand without spending a use of your Hands of Healing and Harm feature. You can still only use Harming hand once per turn. #### Hand of Ultimate Mercy At 17th level, Your mastery of life energy opens the door to the ultimate mercy. As an action, you can touch the corpse of a creature that died within the past 24 hours and expend 5 Discipline points. The creature then returns to life, regaining a number of hit points equal to 4d10 + your Wisdom modifier. If the creature died while subject to any of the following conditions, it revives with them removed: blinded, deafened, paralyzed, poisoned, and stunned. Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest. ### Warrior of the Sun Soul Monks of the Way of the Sun Soul learn to channel their life energy into searing bolts of light. They teach that meditation can unlock the ability to unleash the indomitable light shed by the soul of every living creature. #### Radiant Sunbolt Starting when you choose this tradition at 3rd level, your hands can produce searing bolts of magical radiance. You know the Light cantrip and wisdom is your spellcasting ability for it. You can use this spell to make your hands emit light. You also gain the means to fire a Radiant Sunbolt with your Attack action. This Radiant Sunbolt is a ranged spell attack with a range of 30 feet that uses your martial arts die for damage and can be used in place of your unarmed strikes. You use your dexterity modifier for its attack and damage rolls, and the damage type is radiant. #### Sun Soul Technique At 6th level, you have trained to effectively channel your Discipline into radiant energy, granting you the following techniques. You can use these abilities a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest. While you have no uses available, you can spend 2 Discipline points to use either ability again. * **Searing Arc Strike.** When you take the Attack action on your turn, you can replace one of the attacks with a wave of radiant energy in either a 15-foot cone or a 30-foot line that is 5 feet wide (your choice). Each creature in the area must make a Dexterity saving throw against your Discipline save DC, taking radiant damage equal to three rolls of your Martial Arts die on a failure, or half as much damage on a success. * **Sun Shield.** When you are attacked by a creature within 30 feet of you that you can see, you can use your reaction to increase your AC by an amount equal to your proficiency bonus against that attack, causing your form to be obscured by brilliant light for a brief instant. If this causes the attack to miss you, you deal radiant damage equal to one roll of your martial arts die against the attacker. A creature that can't be blinded is immune to this feature. #### Searing Sunburst At 11th level, you gain the ability to create an orb of light that erupts into a devastating explosion. As an action, you can 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 but deadly instant. Each creature in that 20-foot-radius sphere must make a Constitution saving throw against your Ki save DC, taking radiant damage equal to four rolls of your Martial Arts die and becoming blinded until the end of your next turn on a failure, otherwise they take half as much damage and don't become blinded on a success. A creature doesn't need to make the save if the creature is behind total cover that is opaque. Once you use this action, you can’t use it again until you finish a long rest, unless you spend 3 Discipline points to use it again. #### Aura of Light At 17th level, you can channel your Discipline to become a beacon of a luminous, magical sunlight. You can activate this aura as a bonus action, granting yourself the following benefits for 1 minute: * You shed bright sun light in a 30 foot radius and dim sun light for an additional 30 feet. You can extinguish or restore the light as a bonus action. * You gain a flying speed equal to your walking speed. * You become immune to radiant damage and the blinded condition. These benefits last for a 1 minute or until you use a bonus action to end it early. Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a long rest, unless you spend 4 ki points to use it again. \pagebreak #### Elementalism *Transmutation cantrip* ___ - **Casting Time:** 1 action - **Range:** 30 feet - **Components:** V, S - **Duration:** Instantaneous ___ You exert control over the elements, creating one of the following effects within range: * **Beckon Air.** You create a breeze strong enough to ripple cloth, stir dust, rustle leaves, and close open doors and shutters, all in a 5-foot cube.
