They have learned how to use their ki in order to harness lightning and bend it to their will, empowering their strikes and punishing those who attack them.

On a success they take half damage and are not stunned. You may only have one target stunned by this feature at a time.
A stunned target can make a Constitution saving throw at the end of each of its turns to end this effect.
