Way of the Anti-Mage (5e Subclass)
Way of the Anti-Mage[edit]
Monk Subclass
Monks have used Ki for generations, aging back to the beggining of the practice. But too often it is misstaken for magic. And some monks vow to change this, making it their vendetta to fight against magic and other arcane means.
- Bonus Proficiencies
You gain proficiency in history and arcana. You have been trained in the history of your monastic tradition.
- Spell Fighter
You have perfected a way of blocking spells from happening and locking away arcane means. At 3rd level, when a creature casts a spell within 30 feet of you and the spell has an effect that effects a creature other than the caster, you can use your reaction to spend 1 Ki point and pull up you hand and try to absorb the spell. Roll a d20 and add your wisdom modifier. If the result equals higher than the spells level plus 10, the spell is absorbed and is lost.
If the spell is a cantrip, the spell is automatically absorbed.
When you use your Spell Fighter feature, you can choose to regain Ki points equal to the spells level. You can use this feature once and you regain the use after you finish a long rest. But only if the spell wasn't a cantrip.
- Chi Blocker
At 6th level, you have learned how to stop future spells. Once per turn, when you make an attack roll, you can choose to spend 1 Ki point to make the attack a Chi Block attack. On a hit, the target must succeed a Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, the target looses one spell slot of your choice. The spell slot level can be of a level up to your proficiency bonus.
- Quick Ki
At 11th level, your instincts have trained you to do certain things when you see a spell being cast. When a creature within 30 feet of you casts a spell, you can spend 2 Ki to use either your Patient Defence or Step of the Wind as a reaction before the spell is finished being cast.
Also, when you hit a creature with an attack, and that creature has to make a concentration check, it makes it at disadvantage.
- Flow of Ki and Magic
At 17th level, you have learned how to redirect the flow of Magic with your ki. When you use Spell Fighter you may choose instead of regaining Ki points to cast the spell on its next turn at its lowest level.
