Way of the Feline (5e Subclass)
From D&D Wiki
Way of the Feline[edit]
Monk Subclass
Monks who study this Monastic Tradition are tapped in to their feline instincts, learning to harness and control it. The tradition is predominantly found in Tabaxi monks, however there have been rumors of non-Tabaxi monks learning to replicate and harness the ferocity of a feline. Monks of this type have usually not been taught these techniques in a monastery, and instead either teach themselves or learn from another Tabaxi monk.
- Cat's Grace
At 3rd level, you can choose to deal slashing damage, instead of bludgeoning, with your unarmed strikes.
In addition, you gain proficiency in Acrobatics, and add twice your proficiency bonus in Dexterity (Acrobatics) checks if you are already proficient with it.
- Feline Ferocity
Starting at 3rd level, you can use your unarmed strikes to deliver powerful slashing strikes. When you hit a creature with a unarmed strike, you can spend 1 ki point to force the target to make a Dexterity saving throw.
On a failed save, the target takes additional slashing damage equal to 2d6 and have its movement speed reduced to half until the end of your next turn. On a success the target takes half damage and its movement speed is not reduced.
- Feral Instincts
At 6th level, whenever a hostile creature move within 5 feet of you, you can spend 1 ki point as a reaction to move up to your movement speed, without provoking opportunity attacks.
- Brutal Pounce
Starting at 11th level, whenever you use your Step of the Wind feature, you can make an unarmed strike with advantage on the end of your movement. On a hit, you add your Feline Ferocity damage without spending extra ki and your movement speed is reduced to 0.
- Nine Lives
At 17th level, you gain the mythical luck of the felines. Whenever you would be reduced to 0 hit points, you can spend 1 ki point as a reaction to suffer no damage instead.
