From D&D Wiki
Way of the Zealot[edit]
Monk Tradition
Priests are not the only ones to serve and practice divine power. Some of the true followers of the deities devote their mind and bodies to becoming an extension of their deity's divine will.

- Divine Fury
Starting when you choose this tradition at 3rd level, you can channel divine fury into your attacks. When you use the Attack action on your turn, you can spend 1 ki point to glow with radiant power.

- Divine Pacification
