Way of the Demon's Fury (5e Subclass)

Way of the Demon’s Fury

Monk Subclass

You have embraced the chaotic essence of your lineage, channeling the raw power of demons and otherworldly forces. This path, known as the Way of the Demon's Fury, allows you to wield your inner fury as a weapon, transforming your physical prowess into an unstoppable force.

Through rigorous training and an unbreakable bond with your demonic heritage, you have learned to harness the primal instincts that reside within you. As you unleash your wrath upon your foes, the very fabric of reality trembles in response. Whether you seek redemption or revel in destruction, the fury of the demon within you fuels your every action, granting you unparalleled strength and agility in the heat of battle.

Demon Body

Starting at 3rd level, your intense training in harnessing the chaotic power within you grants you heightened physical prowess. You gain proficiency in either Acrobatics, Athletics, or Intimidation (your choice). If you are already proficient in all these skills, you can choose one to gain expertise instead, doubling your proficiency bonus when making checks with that skill.

Infernal Striker

Starting at 3rd level, your unarmed strike damage increases as follows:

Infernal Striker progression

Character Level	Damage die
3rd	1d8
5th	2d8
11th	3d8
14th	4d8
17th	5d8

Your hands transform into claws, allowing you to deal Bludgeoning, Piercing, or Slashing damage of your choice. These strikes count as magical for the purpose of overcoming resistance and immunity to nonmagical attacks. Additionally, when you hit a creature with an unarmed strike, you can expend 1 Ki point to deal Fire, Poison, or Necrotic damage of your choice, instead of the normal damage type.

Bloodbound Fury

At 3rd level, you can enter a state of Bloodbound Fury that heightens your aggression and enhances your unarmed strikes. As a bonus action, you can spend 3 Ki points to activate Bloodbound Fury for 1 minute. While in this state, you gain the following benefits:

• You have advantage on Strength checks and Strength saving throws.
• Your unarmed strikes deal an additional 1d4 damage.
• You can make an additional unarmed strike as part of your Attack action similar to the Extra Attack feature.

You can extend the duration of Bloodbound Fury by performing the following actions:

• Attacking: Each time you hit a creature with an unarmed strike, you can extend the duration by 1 round.
• Receiving Damage: If you take damage from a creature, the duration is extended by 1 round.
• Being Near Enemies: If you are within 5 feet of two or more enemies at the start of your turn, you can extend the duration by 1 round.

This effect ends early if you are knocked unconscious or if you choose to end it as a bonus action. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus (minimum of 1) and regain all expended uses after a long rest.

Fury Unleashed

At 6th level, your Bloodbound Fury becomes even more potent. While in this state:

• The additional damage from your unarmed strikes increases to 1d6.
• You can make an additional unarmed strike as part of your Flurry of Blows.
• When you activate Bloodbound Fury, you can expend an additional 1 Ki point to gain temporary hit points equal to your monk level + your wisdom modifier.

Infernal Fortitude

At 6th level, you gain advantage on saving throws against being frightened. When a creature within 30 feet of you makes an attack roll against you or an ally, you can use your reaction to impose disadvantage on that attack roll.

Infernal Combat Mastery

At 11th level, your mastery over your hellish abilities allows you to channel your Bloodbound Fury power more effectively.

• The additional damage from your unarmed strikes increases to 1d8.
• When you enter your Bloodbound Fury, you become immune to the Charmed and Frightened conditions for the duration of the transformation.
• Your Bloodbound Fury can now last for up to 5 minutes, and you can extend its duration as before.

Demon’s Wrath

At 17th level, your connection to infernal powers culminates in a fearsome display. When you enter your Bloodbound Fury you now become a fiery avatar of wrath, you gain the additional features:

• The additional damage from your unarmed strikes increases to 2d8.
• You can make a second additional attack as part of your Attack action similar to the Extra Attack feature.
• You gain resistance to fire, poison and necrotic damage for the duration of the Bloodbound Fury.

• Additionally when you're not in your Bloodbound Fury, you can still make a single additional attack as part of your Attack action similar to the Extra Attack feature.
