Way of One Strike (5e Subclass)
Way of One Strike[edit]
This is a subclass designed for the Monk Class
"The best path to victory in combat is to bring your opponent to fall with one perfect blow. The Way of One Strike is focused on the art of one lightning fast, precise and deadly unarmed attack that musters all the monk's focus and strength."
- Single Strike
Starting when you choose this tradition at 3rd level, "Flurry of Blows" is replaced by "Single Strike". You can spend 1 ki point to do 1 unarmed attack with the damage of 3 Martial Art dice +1 Martial Art dice for every Extra Attack. Your enemy must make a Strength saving throw. If it fails, you can push it up to 15 feet away from you.
You can use "Single Strike" only once per turn
- Combat Readiness
At 3rd level you learn the True strike cantrip.
- Ki Strike
At 6th level, you use your ki to increase your power. When you hit a creature with an unarmed strike, you can spend 1 ki point to deal extra damage equal to one roll of your Martial Arts die + your Wisdom modifier + your Monk Level. You can use this feature only once per turn.
- Mastery of The Fist
By 11th level, you began to look deeper inside of yourself and that insight has allowed you to push past your regular limits. You add your Wisdom modifier to the damage of your unarmed strikes.
In addition, when you hit a creature with an unarmed strike, you can spend 1 ki point to deal additional damage equal to one of your martial arts die on that attack.
- body enhancement
At 17th level, you can spend 3 Ki points to take your body to new heights. For the next minute, you gain the following benefits:
- Your movement speed increases by 15 feet.
- You gain +2 to all attack rolls.
- Your unarmed attacks deal extra damage equal to half your Proficiency bonus.
- All nonmagical damage you take is reduced by 3.
- You can add your Dexterity and Strength modifier instead of only one of this to your damage rolls.
You must finish a Long Rest before you can use this feature again.
