Way of the Electro-Combatant (5e Subclass)
Way of the Electro-Combatant[edit]
Monk Subclass
The Electro Combatant has been told to have been a holy gift among men. although to them alone do they understand there power and the great sacrifices that come with it. Some say they were born from a freak accident when their mother was struck by lightning, others say it came from a monk whom was able to move so quickly he could mimic and control the energy around him. Even the electro monks do not completely understand there true power, staying humble to the gods as if it were gift.
- Electro
When taking this tradition at 3rd level, you are able to harness the power of Electro allowing you to have quicker reflexes than most others. When you roll initiative, you roll your martial arts die and add to the result of your initiative rolls.
- Sparking Strike
At 3rd level, whenever you hit a creature with an unarmed strike, you can cause lighting damage, instead of bludgeoning.
In addition, whenever you use your Flurry of Blows and hit a creature with an unarmed strike, you can use your reaction to cause additional 1d6 lightning damage.
- Conductive Current
Starting at 6th level, you can conduit the power of lighting trough your body by using your ki, charging your first strike with electricity. Your first attack made as part of your flurry of blows cause additional 1d6 lighting damage on a hit.
In addition, you gain resistance to lightning damage.
- Sulong Form
The 'Sulong' form is a technique rarely achieved by even the strongest Monk warriors and takes years of studious training to master. You have learned to harness the power of the lightning dragon. At 11th level, as an action, you can unleash a lightning bolt of 5-foot wide and 60-foot long line. Each creature in the line must make a Dexterity saving throw against your ki save DC, taking 8d6 lightning on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. This damage increases to 10d6 when you reach 17th level in this class.
Once you use this feature, you can’t do so again until you finish a long rest, unless you expend 5 ki points to do so again.
- Maximum Voltage
At 17th level, you become the perfect conduit for electricity. You gain the following benefits:
- Your Conductive Current additional damage increases in 1d6 (to a total of 2d6).
- When you use Step of the Wind, you can choose to assume the form of electricity, and teleport to an unoccupied space you can see within 30 feet.
- You can spend 9 ki points to cast chain lightning.
