Possible Changes[edit]
Hi, Anastacio (talk) here. I don't feel like the current 6th and 11th level features are very good or interesting. Apples the Hero have given an idea for a cool replacement for the stance feature on the discord, so i'm posting here as a template for future changes on the class:
Tiger Stance: this stance is designed for aggression. when you use step of the wind, you can also use that bonus action to make an unarmed strike if you move at least 10 feet in a straight line towards the same creature first, but if you do the next attack made against you is made with advantage.
Mantis Stance: this is a defensive stance. While in this stance, you can use patient defense without spending a ki point, but you can only use half your movement that turn.
Crane Stance: this stance emphasizes precise strikes. When you use flurry of blows, attacks you make with your monk weapon and unarmed strikes score a critical hit on a 19 or a 20, but the same applies to melee weapon attacks made against you.
