Ki-Warrior
1st Level Feature
You gain a number of Ki points equal to your Dexterity modifier. When you spend a ki point, it is unavailable until you finish a short or long rest, at the end of which you draw all of your expended ki back into yourself. You must spend at least 30 minutes of the rest meditating to regain your ki points.
- Flurry of Blows: Immediately after you take the Attack action on your turn, you can spend 1 ki point to make two unarmed strikes as a bonus action.
- Patient Defense: You can spend 1 ki point to take the Dodge action as a bonus action on your turn.
- Step of the Wind: You can spend 1 ki point to take the Disengage or Dash action as a bonus action on your turn, and your jump distance is doubled for the turn.
- Hand of Healing: As an action, you can expend 1 ki point to touch a creature and restore a number of Hit Points equal to 1d8 plus your Wisdom modifier.
Deflect Missiles
3rd Level Feature
You can use your reaction to deflect or catch the missile when you are hit by a ranged weapon attack. When you do so, the damage you take from the attack is reduced by 1d10 + your Dexterity modifier + your monk level.
If you reduce the damage to 0, you can catch the missile if it is small enough for you to hold in one hand and you have at least one hand free. If you catch a missile in this way, you can spend 1 ki point to make a ranged attack with a range of 20/60 using the weapon or piece of ammunition you just caught, as part of the same reaction. If the attack hits, your ki point is refunded.
You make this attack with proficiency, regardless of your weapon proficiencies, and the missile counts as a monk weapon for the attack.
