Way of the Dissipating Palm[edit]
Monks of the Way of the Dissipating Palm are specialists in the disruption of arcane magic. They channel their Ki through a variety of symbolic and ritual gestures (Mudras) to counter spells and spellcasting.
Discordant Meridian[edit]
While training may cut you off from the weave, it awakens vast new power within you. Starting at 3rd level, you gain a bonus to your unarmored AC, and unarmed attack and damage rolls, equal to half your Proficiency bonus, rounded down. However, you cannot attune to magic items.
Disciple of the 36 Mudras[edit]
When you choose this tradition at 3rd level, you learn the Mudra of Contemplation, Touching, and one other you qualify for. The mudra are detailed in the section below. You learn one additional mudra of your choice at 6th, 11th and 17th level. Whenever you learn a new mudra, you can also replace one optional mudra that you already know with a different mudra.
- Mudra of Contemplation
Your meditations and breathing practices give you a intuitive understanding of the arcane. You gain proficiency in Arcana if you don’t already have it. Additionally, you add double your proficiency bonus to Arcana checks, if you don’t already.
- Mudra of Touching
The gestures of the monk allow him to sense magical auras. You may cast detect magic for 2 ki points. You can cast it as a ritual, and doing so costs you no ki points.
Mudra Options[edit]
- Mudra of Attuning
When you are forced to make a saving throw, you can spend 1 ki point, and when you make the save you can make it a Dexterity or Wisdom saving throw instead.
- Mudra of Interception
You have learnt the ability to disrupt a spellcasting creature’s concentration. As a bonus action, you can expend 1 Ki point and make an unarmed attack, ending the target’s concentration if it hits. You can do this for free immediately after using Flurry of Blows.
- Mudra of Crowding
