1st Level: Martial Arts

Your practice of martial arts gives you mastery of combat styles that use your Unarmed Strike and Monk Weapons, which are Simple Melee Weapons and Martial Melee Weapons with the Light property.

You gain the following benefits while you are unarmed or wielding only Monk Weapons and you aren’t wearing Armour or wielding a Shield:

Bonus Unarmed Strike. You can make one Unarmed Strike as a Bonus Action.

Dexterous Attacks. You can use Dexterity instead of Strength for the attack and damage rolls of your Unarmed Strikes and Monk Weapons. In addition, when you choose the Grapple or Shove option, you can use your Dexterity modifier instead of Strength to determine the saving throw DC.

Martial Arts Die. You can roll a d6 in place of the normal damage of your Unarmed Strike and Monk Weapons. This die changes as you gain Monk levels, as shown in the Martial Arts column of the Monk table.

1st Level: Unarmoured Defense

While you are not wearing any Armour or wielding a Shield, your Armour Class equals 10 + your Strength or Dexterity modifier + your Wisdom modifier.

2nd Level: Will

Your training allows you to assert your force of will over your own body. This specialized training is represented by a number of Will Points. You have a number of Will Points equal to your monk level.

You can spend these points to fuel various Will features. You start knowing three such features: Flurry of Blows, Patient Defense, and Step of the Wind. You learn more Will features as you gain levels in this class.

When you spend a Will Point, it is unavailable until you finish a Short Rest or Long Rest, at the end of which you regain all your expended points.

Some of your Will Features require your target to make a saving throw to resist the feature's effects. The saving throw DC is calculated as follows:

Will save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier

Flurry of Blows. You can spend 1 Will Point to make two Unarmed Strikes as a Bonus Action.

Patient Defense. You can take the Disengage action as a Bonus Action. Alternatively, you can spend 1 Will Point to take both the Disengage and Dodge actions as a Bonus Action.

Step of the Wind. You can take the Dash action as a Bonus Action. Alternatively, you can spend 1 Will Point to take both the Disengage and Dash actions as a Bonus Action, and your jump distance is doubled for the turn.

2nd Level: Unarmoured Movement

Your speed increases by 10 feet while you are not wearing Armour or wielding a Shield. This bonus increases when you reach certain Monk levels, as shown in the Monk table.

3rd Level: Combat Maneuvers

You learn combat maneuvers that are fueled by special dice called maneuver dice.
Maneuvers. You learn two maneuvers of your choice, choosing from the list of martial maneuvers or the list of maneuvers unique to the Monk. Many maneuvers enhance an attack in some way. You can use only one maneuver per attack. You learn two additional maneuvers of your choice at 6th, 10th, and 14th level. Each time you learn new maneuvers, you can also replace one maneuver you know with a different one.
Maneuver Dice. You have four maneuver dice, which are d6s. A maneuver die is expended when you use it. You regain all of your expended maneuver dice when you finish a Short Rest or Long Rest. You gain another maneuver die at 6th level and one more at 14th level.
Saving Throws. Some of your maneuvers require your target to make a saving throw to resist the maneuver's effects. The saving throw DC is calculated as follows:
Maneuver save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Strength or Dexterity modifier (your choice)
Improved Combat Maneuvers. At 10th level, your maneuver dice turn into d8s. At 14th level, they turn into d10s. At 18th level, they turn into d12s.

3rd Level: Deflect Missiles

You can use your Reaction to deflect ranged attacks against you that deal Bludgeoning, Piercing, or Slashing damage. When you do so, the damage you take from the attack is reduced by 1d10 plus your Dexterity modifier plus your Monk level.

If you reduce the damage of an attack to 0, you can spend 1 Will Point to redirect the attack toward another creature. If you do so, choose a creature within 60 feet of yourself that isn’t behind Total Cover. That creature must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or take damage equal to two rolls of your Martial Arts die. The damage is the same type dealt by the attack.

3rd Level: Monastic Tradition

You commit yourself to a monastic tradition.

Your monastic tradition is a specialization that grants you special abilities at certain Monk levels. For the rest of your career, you gain each of your tradition's features that are of your Monk level and lower. This class's description tells you the levels when your tradition provides features.
