Way of the Adaptive Spirit[edit]
Monk Subclass
Monks who follow the Way of the Adaptive Spirit are attuned to the ebb and flow of combat. They draw strength from their opponents, learning from their techniques and adapting to overcome challenges. As they face different foes, their abilities evolve, making them stronger over time.
- Adapted Body
Starting a 3rd level, your body has adapted and evolved through many fights. You gain the following benefits:
- You gain an additional 6 hit points and then an additional 2 for every level up in this class
- While not wearing armor your AC increases by 2
- You roll 1d6 for your unarmed damage this becomes 1d8 at 5th level, at 11th level 1d10 and at 17th level 1d12
- Adaptive Defense
Starting at 3rd level, you gain the ability to read your opponent's movements and adapt your defense accordingly. Whenever you are hit by an attack, you can spend 1 ki point as a reaction to gain a bonus to your AC equal to your Wisdom modifier until the end of your next turn.
- When you choose this subclass, you gain the ability to observe your opponents keenly. As a reaction, after an enemy makes an attack roll against you or an ally within 60 feet, you can spend 1 ki point to gain insight into their fighting style.
- You learn one of the following benefits based on the type of attack:
- Melee Attack: Your unarmed strikes gain a +1 bonus to hit and damage rolls (to a maximum of +5)
- Ranged Attack: You gain advantage on your next Dexterity saving throw against this opponent’s ranged attacks.
- Spell Attack: You have advantage on your next saving throw against this opponent’s spells.
- You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum of 1), and you regain expended uses after a short rest.
- Adaptive Resilience (6th Level)
- Your body adapts to the damage you receive. Whenever you take damage from an opponent’s attack, you gain temporary hit points equal to 5 + your Wisdom modifier. These temporary hit points last for 1 minute.
- Additionally, if you are subjected to a condition (such as being stunned, paralyzed, or restrained), you can spend 2 ki points to end that condition immediately.
- Adaptive Flurry
Starting at 6th level your flurry of blows now does 3 unarmed attacks instead of 2
- Adaptive Body (2)
Starting at 6th level you gain the following benefits

- Your strength increases by 4 to a maximum of 24
- Choose one of your three main ki feature this feature no longer costs ki for you
- You gain resistance to bludgeoning, piercing and slashing damage from non magical weapons
- Adaptive Mastery (11th Level)
- Your mastery over your own body and mind deepens. Whenever you spend ki points to use a monk feature (such as Flurry of Blows, Patient Defense, or Step of the Wind), you gain a stack of “Adaptive Mastery.”
- Each stack grants you a cumulative +1 bonus to your attack rolls, damage rolls, and saving throws. The maximum number of stacks you can accumulate is equal to your Wisdom modifier.
- You lose all stacks of Adaptive Mastery after a long rest.
