Choosing between choices

Every person living and thinking, having experiences voluntarily or not acquires a path to pursue, this leads to changes.

At level 6, choose one of the following paths:

Sharp mind pungent blade: When the monk holds a weapon in which he has proficiency, he can make 1 Ki point flow inside it at the cost of his bonus action, with this the blade can be used by the monk to perform the flurry of blows and :also gets +1 to the damage and to hit.

This effect lasts 1d4 + wisdom turns and ends at the end of your combat turn.

Surrender to blind rage: May calm and mercy go to the trove, with your action you can abandon these concepts and let yourself be attacked by a murderous rage.

When you use this Technique which will end at the end of your next turn, you give up all of your Ki points (minimum 1) and take 1d4 force damage for each of them (for each Ki point spent you will remain 1 more turn in the "Blind Rage" :state).

This allows you to add 1d4 damage. In addition to your damage, every weapon you wield and every part of your body will imbue your Ki, making each blow force damage.

This technique when used cannot be stopped and also prevents you from using magic.

When the technique is active you are resistant to any kind of enchantment, fear, mind control or possession.

Bludgeoning, slashing, and force damage are reduced by 1d4.

When in this condition, you take disadvantage on Intelligence saving throws, but, instead, you take an additional 1d4 on Strength and Toughness saving throws.

Finally, you get a bonus on the attack roll equal to half of your proficiency.

Pure Instinct: Instinct is something much overlooked by many people, but the path of meditation to be overwhelmed by instinct is certainly one of the most difficult ways to reach, but not impossible.

You gain half your proficiency (to excess) in addition to your AC. On a reaction, you can spend 2 ki points and gain advantage on a toughness, Dexterity, or Strength saving throw.

By expending 1 Ki point and reaction, when you are about to be hit you can attempt to execute a quick strike at the enemy, if it is within range of your blows.

(This technique can also be used from a distance if you want to combine it with something similar to "Higher Ki")

Feel like a Legend: Use all your willpower to stay focused, otherwise everyone will feel your power.

Spend 5 Ki Points with your bonus action and enter the "Out of Control" state.

At the beginning of each of your turns you must make a Wisdom saving throw (DC 8 + proficiency + wisdom + 2) if you pass you will be able to maintain semblance of lucidity, if you fail you will have to roll a dice for each enemy and ally :on the battlefield to decide who among them will suffer your wrath.

This state temporarily doubles your hit points and gives your damage a bonus equal to your proficiency.

The "out of control" state will remain for 1d6 + turns proficiency and can only end when they end or if you fall unconscious or are charmed, controlled, or possessed.

Gain resistance to bludgeoning damage.

By spending 1 reaction and Ki point on your turn, you can lower your critical roll from 20 to 19, this effect lasts until the end of your turn.

When you perform a flurry of blows, you get an extra hit.

At the end of this state, gain 1 exhaustion.

Old Steps: You don't necessarily have to look for a new way forward, sometimes it's enough to dwell on the roads of the past that we have decided not to choose.

Choose at level 6 one of the previous fighting styles offered at level 3 of this subclass, which you obviously didn't choose, you cannot select the same fighting style.

Upon reaching level 11 you can choose another fighting style previously offered by this subclass at level 3.

Golden Mantle: As a bonus action, you can spend one of your Ki points to wrap yourself in a cloak made of Ki. This cloak gives you +3 to AC and you gain 1 extra reaction, until the end of your next turn.

When you activate this ability, all magical damage is halved.

Intensive Accumulator: By spending 5 Ki points you can prepare your body to receive any type of impact and you also prepare it to accumulate kinetic energy from the blows suffered, you gain for 1d6 + half of your competence :turns(ends at the start of your next turn) resistance to slashing, bludgeoning, piercing and strength (this resistance cannot be overcome by magical hits), in addition all damage of this kind is stored in the monk's body (he can store :damage equal to his current hit points + Wisdom + proficiency + 5).

All that damage can then be released via one of the following options:

●Spend your action to place your hands on the ground and unleash a telluric shock that releases the Ki and the accumulated energy, with the Ki you will create sharp rocks that could also hit targets flying less than 3 meters in height.

You release this power in a 30-foot cone, each creature in that area must make a Dexterity saving throw (DC 8 + wisdom + proficiency) those who pass can halve the damage, while those who fail will gain all the damage they had previously

accumulated the monk.

●You can spend your reaction to try to punch an opponent within your range, if you manage to hit him the enemy will have to make a saving throw on Constitutions (DC 8 + wisdom + proficiency, if he succeeds he will halve the damage), at

the damage of that punch adds all the damage you had accumulated (crit does not affect the accumulated damage).

As long as you don't hit the enemy or the effect ends, you keep the stack.

●With your bonus action and 1 Ki point, you can decide to end the accumulation, concentrating all that kinetic energy to create a sort of skin shield that offers you temporary hit points equal to half the accumulated energy for one :minute.

(Intensive Accumulator can be used a number of times equal to half of your proficiency, if you exceed the use you get 1 exhaustion.

A long rest is needed to recharge uses.)

Higher Discipline

Every form of path serves the purpose, but, what is your purpose?

At level 11 you will have to choose which of the following disciplines you want to make your own.

The Path of Paradox: This technique is based on the paradox effect, i.e. something senseless, but sensible at the same time.

With 1 action and at the cost of 10 Ki Points you create a perfect copy of yourself next to you in the moment, with the only difference being that you share hit points.

The copy does not have the same items as you and will think it is the real one of the two, it will last for 1 minute.

If the battle ends before the time runs out, the copy will try to kill you without hesitation, the copy cannot use this technique.

The copy cannot speak, write, or have fluid thinking abilities, so it is weak to possessions and being charmed, if you are immune to these characteristics for any reason, the copy will have this weakness anyway.

The Path to Purgatory: You have tried to be patient, but, every time mortals take you down the wrong path, you were for love, you were for peace, but, they took everything, now they will understand the meaning of losing.

The Path of Peace: This path has always been full of thorns and will continue to be so, but, you are strong enough to take it upon yourself.

With your bonus action, select a number of consensual companions of equal competence within 18 meters of you, you will establish a bond that will cause you to take half of the damage they receive in their place, if you are immune to that :specific damage, the effect of binding will not activate.
