Way of the Wildfist (5e Subclass)

Way of the Wildfist

Monastic Tradition

Monks who follow the path of the wildfist draw their power from nature, channeling its primeval energy trough the use of ki. They understand that ki flows trough every living creature, and can attain a deeper connection with the wildlife trough that understanding.

Those monks tend to be guardians of nature, often allying themselves with druids, acting as guardians of sacred grooves and helping them to guard forests. Others ally themselves with rangers, hunting monsters that disrupt the natural balance in wild places.

Wild Powers

When you choose this tradition at 3rd level, you can use your ki to draw the power of nature. You learn one wild power from the Wild Power List below, and an additional one at 6th, 11th and 17th levels. Whenever you gain a new Wild Power, you can replace an old wild power for a new one.

Some powers require concentration, as spells do, and much like spells, you can't keep concentration in two of these powers at the same time, or one power and a spell that requires concentration.

When a power mimics the effects of a spell, Wisdom is your spellcasting ability for this spell.

At 6th level, the damage caused by your Wild Powers is considered magical, for the purposes of overcoming resistance and immunity to non-magical damage.

Bonus Proficiency

Starting at 3rd level, you learn how to speak, read and write in Sylvan, the language of woodland creatures.

In addition, you can choose to gain proficiency in one of the following skills: Animal Handling, Nature or Survival.

Woodland Stride

Starting at 6th level, moving through nonmagical difficult terrain costs you no extra movement. You can also pass through nonmagical plants without being slowed by them and without taking damage from them if they have thorns, spines, or a similar hazard.

In addition, you have advantage on saving throws against plants that are magically created or manipulated to impede movement, such as those created by the Entangle spell.

Wild Companion

At 11th level, you gain the alliance and protection of a woodland creature. You can cast the spell conjure animals , without spending a spell slot or requiring components.

Whenever you start casting the spell, you can modify it so that it doesn't require concentration. If you do so, the spell's duration becomes 1 minute for that casting.

Once you cast this spell, you can't do it again until you finish a long rest, unless you spend 3 ki points to do so again.

Tough Skin

At 17th level, your skin starts to resemble hard wood and bark. You gain resistance to non-magical slashing, piercing and bludgeoning damage while not wearing armor.
