Way of the Perfect Fist (5e Subclass)
Way of The Perfect Fist[edit]
A true monk must perfect all aspects of the self in order to attain the enlightenment that many seek, this is that true monk. Monks of the Perfect Fist choose to focus inward with their ki, instead of outward like other disciplines. This allows them to master unarmed combat in a way most have never seen before.
- Mastery of The Body
Starting at 3rd level when you choose this tradition, you have mastered the technique to overcome pain and physical injury by using your mind. As a reaction when you take damage from an attack, you can spend 1 ki point as a reaction to add your Wisdom modifier to your AC until the start of your next turn, including against the triggering attack.
In addition, once per turn, you can forgo one of your attacks made as part of the Attack action and spend 1 ki point, to gain a number of temporary hit points equal to a roll of your martial arts die + your Wisdom modifier.
- Mastery of The Soul
At 6th level, you have begun to tap deeper into parts of yourself that you didn't even know existed, finding your hidden power and reaching your true potential. Your ki point maximum increases by an amount equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum of 1).
- Mastery of The Fist
By 11th level, you have begun to look deeper inside yourself and that insight has allowed you to push past your regular limits. You add your Wisdom modifier to the damage of your unarmed strikes.
In addition, when you hit a creature with an unarmed strike, you can spend 1 ki point to deal additional damage equal to your martial arts die on that attack.
- Perfection of The Self
By 17th level, your mastery of ki allows you to heighten your natural abilities. Whenever you make an ability check or saving throw, you can spend up to 5 ki points to add a bonus to that roll equal to the amount of ki spent. This ability can be used after the roll but before the results are given.
This bonus lasts for the next hour, or until you use this ability again.
