Way of the Fire Elementalist (5e Subclass)
Way of the Fire Elementalist[edit]
Monk Subclass
A bare-chested dwarf exhales white hot flame as he breathes over a damaged sword, replicating the heat of a forge so that he can repair it on the road.
A red-skinned tiefling extends her leg with a high kick as a mote of flame engulfs her opponent thirty feet away.
A human extends two fingers as lightning extends through his body, and outward, demolishing an outer wall as the siege gets underway.
A Fire Elementalist is a Monk who (through study, fortune or fate) have unlocked their inner flame. Using their breath to generate energy, these monks extend their Ki outward from their body, creating and manipulating flame.
- Fire Magic
When you choose this tradition, you learn the control flames cantrip. In addition, you can use your ki to mimic the burning hands spell, by spending 2 ki points. At 6th level you can spend 3 ki points to cast scorching ray, at 11th level you can spend 5 points to cast fireball and 6 points to cast fire shield at 17th level.
You don't need to have material components to cast these spells, and Wisdom is your spellcasting ability to cast them.
- Heart of Fire
Starting at 3rd level, when you use your Flurry of Blows, flames are projected from your hands. You can choose one creature within 10 feet of you to take fire damage equal to half your monk level (minimum of 1).
- Fire in the Veins
Starting at 6th level, you gain resistance to fire damage. In addition, fire damage caused by your class features ignore resistance to fire damage.
- Fire Wrath
At 11th level, when you are hit by a melee attack, you can use your reaction to cause fire damage to the attacker. The damage equals your monk level.
- Fiery Soul
At 17th level, you gain immunity to fire damage. In addition, fire created by you ignores resistance to fire damage and treat fire immunity as fire resistance.
