Active Techniques

Ki Sense

You are granted awareness of the life energy around you. You can perceive your surroundings without relying on sight or sound. You have blindsight within 30 feet. In addition, if you concentrate, you can sense life energy in a much larger area. If concentrate for 1 minute, you can sense life in a radius of miles equal to your proficiency modifier. You can tell their basic direction and distance. You cannot tell what the lifeform is or distinguish the numbers of groups. But you can tell if they are powerful (Stronger or weaker than yourself in terms of level to CR) and can distinguish individuals you have met by their unique Ki signature. You cannot sense undead.

After Imagine

You can use your action to turn invisible and leave a decoy in your current space. The invisibility lasts till the end of your next turn, until you take any type of action, or you take damage. Physical interaction with the image reveals it to be an illusion, because things can pass through it. A creature that uses its action to examine the image can determine that it is an illusion with a successful Intelligence (Investigation) check against your Ki save DC. Costs 1 Ki. The After Imagine last for 1 minute.

False Moon

As a bonus action, you create a False Moon. Cost 2 Ki. Range 300 feet. Casts dim light over a large area, and causes transformations associated with the full moon. The moon has an AC equal to your AC + Con. Mod. Note: Unless someone already knows what it is they would have to make an Intelligence check against your Ki save DC to figure out what it is and therefore if they should attack it.

Ki Transfer

You can transfer Ki to another creature as an action. This technique consumes the number of Ki points you would like to transfer (minimum = 1, maximum = proficiency modifier). If the target has the Ki feature you can choose to give the creature an amount of Ki points equal to the amount you expend.

Instant Transmission

Requirements. Must be level 6

As a bonus action, you teleport to a creature you can see. You can also choose to bring any creatures that you are in physical contact with. Unwilling creatures cannot be teleported. This technique costs 1 Ki points + 1 additional Ki point for each additional creature you bring. You must teleport within 15 feet of a creature you can see. At level 13, you can teleport to any creature you can sense with Ki sense. Costs 5 ki + 1 per creature if used in this way.

Energy Barrier

As an action, or a reaction when an attack or spell is used against you, you can spend Ki points to create an energy barrier. Requires concentration. You cannot take any other actions while concentrating on this barrier. The size and HP of the barrier increase per Ki used to create it, 10 HP and 5 foot radius per Ki used. You can spend Ki points up to your proficiency modifier. On each following turn, you can infuse the barrier with more Ki (up to you proficiency modifier per turn) to increase its HP, but not its size. This barrier lets in only H20 and creatures that you let in. Does not block teleportation magic or ethereal plane travel. Damaging spells merely damage the barrier. Spells that do not cause damage cast at your barrier that require any saves to be rolled instead require the caster to make a spell attack, contested by a Ki attack by the barrier caster. If the attacker loses or ties, the spell fails to pass the barrier. The barrier remains in place until its hp reaches 0, or the user loses or drops concentration.

Flight

You may spend 1 Ki point as a bonus action in order to levitate 5 feet above the ground for 1 minute and move equal to your movement speed. This can instantly stop a fall. At 5th level, the duration increases to 10 minutes and height increases to 20 feet. At 11th level, you have no distance above ground limitation, and the duration is further increased up to 1 hour.
