Way of the Moon

Your ways are that of tooth and claw, while other monks find power through patience and restraint, your power comes through adrenaline, instinct, and an attunement with the natural world.

Rip and tear, whelp.

Aspect of the Moon

Starting at 3rd level, your body starts to react to your connection to the moon. Your teeth sharpen, you grow claws, and your hair grows thick, as such, you can choose to deal slashing damage with your unarmed attacks.

In addition, your eyes are blessed by the moon. You gain proficiency in Perception, and you gain a 60 foot Darkivison, if you didn't have them already.

Light of the Moon

At 3rd level, your affinity with the moon allows you to simulate supernatural effects. You gain the Dancing Lights cantrip, if you didn't already have it, you can cast Speak with Animals as a ritual, and you can cast the following spells using Ki.

Ki Cost Spells
1 Animal Friendship, Hunter's Mark, Cause Fear
3 Enlarge/Reduce (Enlarge only), Moonbeam,
Locate Object
5 Haste, Conjure Animals, Fear

Resilience of the Moon

At 6th level, when you use your Flurry of Blows, you gain resistance to piercing, slashing, and bludgeoning damage until the beginning of your next turn.

Endurance of the Moon

At 11th level, If you drop to 0 hit points and don't die outright, you can make a DC 10 Constitution saving throw. If you succeed, you drop to 1 hit point instead.

Each time you use this feature after the first, the DC increases by 5. When you finish a short or long rest, the DC resets to 10.

Ferocity of the Moon

At 17th level, whenever a creature within 5 feet of you hits you, you can use your reaction to make a melee attack against that creature.
