Archetype - Monk: Way of Enduring Stone (v1.0)

<div class='footnote'>Version 1.0</div>

## Monk: Monastic Tradition
### Way of Enduring Stone
Monks that study the Way of Enduring Stone are the epitome of resilience and strength of body and spirit. They are disciplined, able to withstand almost any force. The most experienced of these monks can even move the earth itself through sheer power of will.

#### Stone Body
When you choose this tradition at 3rd level, your body becomes as tough as mountain stone. While you are wearing no armor and not wielding a shield, you can choose for your AC to equal 10 + your Constitution modifier + your Wisdom modifier.

In addition, you have advantage on saving throws made against being moved or knocked prone.

#### Boulder's Toughness
Also at 3rd level, you've learned to ignore pain and withstand mortal injury. You can use your reaction to deflect or ignore the force of a blow when you are hit by a melee weapon attack. When you do so, the damage you take is reduced by an amount equal to 1d10 + your Constitution modifier + your monk level.

#### Unwavering Stance
Starting at 6th level, your strength of body and spirit allows you to remain resolute, even in the middle of a dragon's breath attack or a *fireball* spell. Whenever you are subjected to an effect that allows you to make a Dexterity saving throw to take half damage, you can choose to make a Constitution saving throw instead.

#### Mountain Soul
Beginning at 11th level, your soul is infused with the spirit that causes mountains to rise and fall. You can use your ki to duplicate the effects of certain spells. As an action, you can spend 5 ki points to cast *bones of the earth*\*, *stone shape*, *stoneskin*, or *transmute rock*\*. Additionally, you learn the *mold earth*\* cantrip if you don't already know it.
___
\* This spell is found in *Xanathar's Guide to Everything.*

#### Absolute Resilience
At 17th level, your body is a stone fortress. You gain the following benefits: 
- You cannot be forcibly moved or knocked prone unless you allow it.
- You can use your Boulder's Toughness feature to reduce any damage that you take from another creature.
- When you use your Unwavering Stance feature to make a Constitution saving throw instead of a Dexterity saving throw, you take no damage if you succeed on the saving throw, and only half damage if you succeed.
