Monks who follow the Way of the Polarity harness the power of attraction and repulsion, manipulating magnetic forces to control their environment and defend themselves in combat. They become a focal point of magnetic energy, drawing objects and adversaries towards them or pushing them away.
3rd Level Features
Magnetic Strikes
Starting at 3rd level, your unarmed strikes channel the power of magnetism. Whenever you successfully hit a creature with an flurry of blows strike, you can choose to apply a magnetic force, either pushing or pulling the target up to 5 feet. Additionally, you can spend 1 ki point to enhance the magnetic effect. By expending the ki point, you can designate the magnetic polarity as either positive (+) or negative (-). If two creatures are affected by the same magnetic polarity (both positive or both negative), they are unable to move towards each other. However, if they possess opposite polarities (one positive and one negative), they are unable to move away from each other due to the magnetic forces at play. Magnetic Disarmament
Also at 3rd level, you gain the ability to disrupt your opponent's grip on their weapons or items using magnetic forces. As an action, you can choose a creature within 30 feet of you that you can see wielding a weapon or holding an object. The target must make a Strength saving throw against your monk ki save DC. On a failed save, their grasp on the weapon or object is weakened by magnetic interference. If the target fails the saving throw, they suffer one of the following effects based on the object they are holding:
Magnetic Levitation
At 6th level, your mastery over magnetism allows you to defy gravity and soar through the air. As a bonus action, you can expend 3 ki points to activate your Magnetic Levitation for a duration of 1 minute or until you end your turn while touching the ground. While your Magnetic Levitation is active, you gain a flying speed equal to your current walking speed. You can hover in place or ascend or descend vertically during your movement. You also have advantage on Dexterity saving throws made to avoid falling. If your flight is somehow interrupted, such as by being knocked prone or restrained, you can use your reaction to immediately make a Dexterity saving throw DC 15. On a success, you manage to regain control and remain aloft. Additionally, while your levitation is active, you emit a magnetic field that extends 10 feet from you in every direction. Any creature that starts its turn within the magnetic field or enters it for the first time on a turn must make a Strength saving throw against your monk ki save DC. On a failed save, the creature's movement speed is halved until the start of its next turn as the magnetic forces interfere with its ability to move freely. Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest. 11th Level Feature
Magnetic Collision
At 11th level, your mastery over magnetism allows you to manipulate the magnetic forces surrounding creatures affected by your Magnetic Strikes. Whenever you use your Magnetic Strikes feature to push or pull a target, you can choose to have that target collide with another creature affected by your Magnetic Strikes, as long as they are of the opposite polarity. When the collision occurs, both creatures must make a Dexterity saving throw against your monk ki save DC. On a failed save, they each take force damage equal to your Martial Arts die plus your Wisdom modifier, and they are both knocked prone. On a successful save, they take half damage and remain standing. Creatures that are immune to being prone or resistant to force damage have advantage on the saving throw, and creatures that are immune to being pushed or pulled are unaffected by this collision effect. 17th Level Feature
Magnetic Cataclysm
At 17th level, your mastery over magnetism reaches its pinnacle, allowing you to create a cataclysmic event of magnetic forces. As an action, you can spend 10 ki points to activate Magnetic Cataclysm. When you do so, you generate an intense magnetic field within a 60-foot radius centered on you. Creatures within the magnetic field must make a Strength saving throw against your monk ki save DC. On a failed save, a creature is irresistibly drawn towards the center of the field. It is pulled at most 60 feet towards you, taking force damage equal to your Martial Arts die plus your Wisdom modifier for every 10 feet it is moved. Additionally, the creature is restrained until the end of its next turn. Creatures that succeed on the saving throw take half damage and are not restrained.
Magnetic Strikes
Starting at 3rd level, your unarmed strikes channel the power of magnetism. Whenever you successfully hit a creature with an flurry of blows strike, you can choose to apply a magnetic force, either pushing or pulling the target up to 5 feet. Additionally, you can spend 1 ki point to enhance the magnetic effect. By expending the ki point, you can designate the magnetic polarity as either positive (+) or negative (-). If two creatures are affected by the same magnetic polarity (both positive or both negative), they are unable to move towards each other. However, if they possess opposite polarities (one positive and one negative), they are unable to move away from each other due to the magnetic forces at play. Magnetic Disarmament
Also at 3rd level, you gain the ability to disrupt your opponent's grip on their weapons or items using magnetic forces. As an action, you can choose a creature within 30 feet of you that you can see wielding a weapon or holding an object. The target must make a Strength saving throw against your monk ki save DC. On a failed save, their grasp on the weapon or object is weakened by magnetic interference. If the target fails the saving throw, they suffer one of the following effects based on the object they are holding:
- Weapon Disruption: If the target is wielding a weapon, the magnetic forces cause it to become magnetically charged, making it difficult to handle. The target has disadvantage on attack rolls with that weapon until the end of their next turn. Additionally, if the target is holding a metal weapon, they must make a Strength saving throw at the start of their turn or be disarmed as the weapon is forcibly pulled from their grasp and lands 10 feet away from them.
- Item Disruption: If the target is holding an object other than a weapon, the magnetic interference makes it difficult for them to maintain their grip. The target must make a Strength saving throw or drop the object they are holding, which is then magnetically attracted to you, landing within 5 feet of you.
Magnetic Levitation
At 6th level, your mastery over magnetism allows you to defy gravity and soar through the air. As a bonus action, you can expend 3 ki points to activate your Magnetic Levitation for a duration of 1 minute or until you end your turn while touching the ground. While your Magnetic Levitation is active, you gain a flying speed equal to your current walking speed. You can hover in place or ascend or descend vertically during your movement. You also have advantage on Dexterity saving throws made to avoid falling. If your flight is somehow interrupted, such as by being knocked prone or restrained, you can use your reaction to immediately make a Dexterity saving throw DC 15. On a success, you manage to regain control and remain aloft. Additionally, while your levitation is active, you emit a magnetic field that extends 10 feet from you in every direction. Any creature that starts its turn within the magnetic field or enters it for the first time on a turn must make a Strength saving throw against your monk ki save DC. On a failed save, the creature's movement speed is halved until the start of its next turn as the magnetic forces interfere with its ability to move freely. Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest. 11th Level Feature
Magnetic Collision
At 11th level, your mastery over magnetism allows you to manipulate the magnetic forces surrounding creatures affected by your Magnetic Strikes. Whenever you use your Magnetic Strikes feature to push or pull a target, you can choose to have that target collide with another creature affected by your Magnetic Strikes, as long as they are of the opposite polarity. When the collision occurs, both creatures must make a Dexterity saving throw against your monk ki save DC. On a failed save, they each take force damage equal to your Martial Arts die plus your Wisdom modifier, and they are both knocked prone. On a successful save, they take half damage and remain standing. Creatures that are immune to being prone or resistant to force damage have advantage on the saving throw, and creatures that are immune to being pushed or pulled are unaffected by this collision effect. 17th Level Feature
Magnetic Cataclysm
At 17th level, your mastery over magnetism reaches its pinnacle, allowing you to create a cataclysmic event of magnetic forces. As an action, you can spend 10 ki points to activate Magnetic Cataclysm. When you do so, you generate an intense magnetic field within a 60-foot radius centered on you. Creatures within the magnetic field must make a Strength saving throw against your monk ki save DC. On a failed save, a creature is irresistibly drawn towards the center of the field. It is pulled at most 60 feet towards you, taking force damage equal to your Martial Arts die plus your Wisdom modifier for every 10 feet it is moved. Additionally, the creature is restrained until the end of its next turn. Creatures that succeed on the saving throw take half damage and are not restrained.
You follow a monastic tradition that teaches you to harness the elements. When you focus your ki, you can align yourself with the forces of creation and bend the four elements to your will, using them as an extension of your body. Some members of this tradition dedicate themselves to a single element, but others weave the elements together.
Many monks of this tradition tattoo their bodies with representations of their ki powers, commonly imagined as coiling dragons, but also as phoenixes, fish, plants, mountains, and cresting waves.
3rd Level Features
Disciple of the Elements
Starting at 3rd level, you learn magical disciplines that harness the power of the four elements. A discipline requires you to spend ki points each time you use it. You know the Elemental Attunement discipline and one other elemental discipline of your choice. You learn one additional elemental discipline of your choice at 6th, 11th, and 17th level. Whenever you finish a long rest, you can also replace one elemental discipline that you already know with a different discipline. Once per short or long rest, as a bonus action you can regain half your ki points as the elemental planes empower your Will. Elemental Disciplines
The elemental disciplines are presented in order of ki consumption. If a discipline requires a level, you must be the level in this class to learn the discipline.

Extra Elemental Discipline
Starting at 6th level, you learn one additional elemental discipline of your choice. You should know 2 elemental disciplines, as well as Elemental Attunement.
