Way of the Dragon

You have studied at a monastery devoted to dragonkind. Warriors trained in these places adapt their fighting styles to match the dragons they hold in such esteem. They are respected and feared by students of other traditions. Once they are trained, followers of this Way travel far and wide, rarely settling in one place for long.

Level 3: Draconic Affiliation

You feel an affinity for one type of dragon, which you choose from the Draconic Affiliation table. You model your fighting style to match that type of dragon, and some of the features you gain from following this Way depend upon the affiliation you chose.

Draconic Affiliation

Dragon	Associated Skill[//th]	Damage Type
Amethyst	Insight	Force
Black or Copper	Stealth	Acid
Blue or Bronze	Insight	Lightning
Brass, Gold, or Red	Intimidation	Fire
Emerald	Perception	Psychic
Green	Deception	Poison
Silver or White	History	Cold
Topaz	Deception	Necrotic

When you make your selection, you gain proficiency in the dragon’s associated skill, and you gain resistance to the listed damage type. If you already have this skill proficiency, you double your proficiency bonus with that skill.

Level 3: Draconic Onslaught

When you use Step of the Wind then hit with an attack, the attack deals an extra 2d6 damage of the type associated with your Draconic Affiliation.

Level 6: Take Flight

When you take the Dash action, you can spend 1 ki point to gain a flying speed equal to your walking speed until the end of your turn. While you are flying, a creature that hits you with an opportunity attack takes 2d6 damage of the type associated with your Draconic Affiliation.

Level 11: Conquering Wyrm

When you take the Attack action after using Step of the Wind in the same turn, you can spend an extra 2 ki points to replace your first attack with one unarmed strike against each creature within 5 feet of the space in which you end your movement. On a hit, your unarmed strike deals an extra 4d6 of the type associated with your Draconic Affiliation. You can’t use this feature and your Draconic Onslaught feature in the same round.

Level 17: Scales of the Wyrm

You can harden yourself against harm like the eldest of dragons. On your turn, you can spend 4 ki points to increase your Armor Class by 2, gain temporary hit points equal to your monk level, and gain immunity to the frightened condition for 10 minutes. For the duration, when you take damage of the type associated with your Draconic Affiliation, you can use your reaction to reduce the damage you take from that source to 0.
