Monk Subclasses: Ways of the Elements Four

# Monk Collection: Ways of the Elements Four
The four elements are varied and powerful, bringing not just different abilities but different philosophies as well. This collection presents four new Monk subclasses, one each dedicated to the elements of Air, Water, Earth, and Fire. These Monastic Traditions bring a selection of magical ways to "bend" their respective elements, as well as unique fighting techniques inspired by its more abstract philosophies.

## Way of Elemental Air
Air is the element of freedom, intangible yet ever-present. Those who train to master air favour constant movement and unpredictable leaps, wielding weapons which help them connect to the element or guide their movement, such as fans and quarterstaffs. Many air monasteries are remote centres of spiritual learning whose adherents are sworn to peace and nonaggression; even those who do fight often prefer to manipulate the flow of battle without bloodshed.

| Monk Level  | Tradition Features |
|:---:|:-----------:|
|  3rd  | Air Stance, Bend the Wind, Air Techniques (2) |
|  6th  | Deft Parry, Glider Techniques, Air Techniques (3) |
|  11th  | Hurricane's Agility, Bend the Wind improvement, Air Techniques (4) |
|  17th  | Move like the Wind, Air Techniques (5) |

### Air Stance
*3rd-level Air feature*

Your fighting style focuses on evasion and redirection, granting you the following benefits:
* When a hostile creature ends its turn within 5 feet of you, you may use your reaction to move up to half your speed without provoking attacks of opportunity.
* You may use your Dexterity when calculating the distances you can jump, rather than Strength.
* When you spend a Ki point to use Step of the Wind, you may treat any of your movement as flying until the end of your current turn.

### Bend the Wind
*3rd-level Air feature*

You learn to create small, harmless sensory effects within 30 feet of you as an action using air, such as a light breeze, or throwing your voice.

Additionally, you learn two Air Techniques of your choice, and you gain one more of your choice when you reach 6th, 11th, and 17th levels. You may also swap out a technique you know for one you do not whenever you gain a level in this class. The end of this class description contains a list of available air techniques, as well as the general rules of casting elemental techniques.

Some of your techniques will require a saving throw or attack roll, in this case the saving throw DC is the same as **your Ki save DC**, and the attack bonus is equal to **your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier**.

From 11th level, when you use your action to cast one of your elemental techniques, or cast one or more techniques as part of the Attack action, you may use your bonus action to make an unarmed strike or use your Flurry of Blows as though you had attacked with a monk weapon.

### Deft Parry
*6th-level Air feature*

When you are targeted with an attack roll by a creature you can see, you may use your reaction to add your proficiency bonus to your armour class against the triggering attack.

### Glider Technique
*6th-level Air feature*

You gain some measure of control over your falling. When you fall on your turn, you may use your movement to move laterally up to 15 feet in any direction of your choice.

### Hurricane's Agility
*11th-level Air feature*

You may take two reactions, instead of one, each round. You may still only take one reaction per triggering event.

### Move like the Wind
*17th-level Air feature*

Your speed is always doubled while flying.

## Way of Elemental Earth
Earth is steadfast and dependable; those who learn to fight in tandem with it do so by enduring their adversaries’ assault, destabilising their footing, then striking back with one powerful blow. Earthen monasteries tend to emphasise physical strength, more so than other monastic orders, and even those who cannot spiritually connect to the earth still embrace its philosophies by training with heavy, blunt weapons.

### Mountain Grip

When you hit a creature with a melee weapon attack, you may choose to push it up to 10 feet away from you. This distance is reduced to 5 feet if the creature is larger than the size you count as for your Mountain Grip feature.

## Way of Elemental Fire
Fire is the element of drive and ambition, calling those who fight with it towards aggressive, decisive techniques. Fire monasteries tend to be the most proactive in affecting change in the world, sending adherents out to strike down evil and to bring light and truth where there is darkness and obscurity. Monks of the flame tend to favour fast, sharp weapons such as whips, daggers, or shortswords.

## Way of Elemental Water
Water is adaptable, it gives life and it drowns it, carries ships and erodes mountains. Those who fight with it emulate the push and pull of the tides, moving in flowing patterns and switching between offensive and defensive techniques as the battle calls for them. Water monasteries tend to be made out of ice or other manipulatable materials so that they can be reshaped on a whim, becoming welcoming havens or impregnable fortresses. Monks of this path favour a variety of weapons which they can easily switch between.

| Monk Level  | Tradition Features |
|:---:|:-----------:|
|  3rd  | Water Stance, Bend the Wave, Water Techniques (2) |
|  6th  | Shifting Stances, Fluid Knowledge, Water Techniques (3) |

* Once per turn, when a creature misses you with a melee attack, you may move to any other unoccupied space within 5 feet of it, without provoking opportunity attacks. This does not use your reaction.

### Bend the Wave
*3rd-level Water feature*

You learn to create small, harmless sensory effects within 30 feet of you as an action using waves, such as melting small amounts of ice, or redirecting light currents.

Additionally, you learn two Water Techniques of your choice, and you gain one more of your choice when you reach 6th, 11th, and 17th levels. You may also swap out a technique you know for one you do not whenever you gain a level in this class. The end of this class description contains a list of available water techniques, as well as the general rules of casting elemental techniques.

When you roll for Initiative, choose whether you assume the Ice Stance or the River Stance, gaining the benefits listed below. You cannot gain these benefits outside of combat, unless your GM rules otherwise.
* **Ice Stance.** You gain a +2 bonus to your armour class and Strength, Dexterity, and Constitution saving throws.

## Elemental Techniques
Elemental techniques are special ways for Monks to manipulate the world around them, using their Ki to connect with one of the four elements. Though it is not strictly magic, they share certain magical properties. See chapter 10 of the PHB if you need a refresher on the general rules of spellcasting, and the list below for the specifics of elemental techniques.
* **Cost:** Instead of expending spell slots, Ki points provide the energy for your elemental techniques. You must expend a number of points between 1 and your proficiency bonus, the technique becoming stronger the more you spend. For the purposes of antimagical effects such as *counterspell*, the “spell level” of the technique is equal to the number of points expended.
* **Components:** As specialised martial arts, elemental techniques always require Somatic components, but not usually Verbal or Material. The GM retains the discretion to rule that a technique requires the presence of its composite element to function; for instance it may not make sense to be able to use the Earth technique *earthen barricade* while flying, or on the deck of a sailing ship. 
* **Casting Time:** The amount of time it takes for you to enact the technique. If the cast time specifies an attack, you may replace one of your attacks when you take the Attack action to cast the technique instead; this can be done for multiple attacks provided you have the Ki points to spare.
* **Range:** The range at which you can manipulate the element; creatures and points that you target with the technique must be somewhere within this area.
* **Duration:** How long the technique’s effects last. If it requires concentration, you must concentrate on it as if it were a spell.
* **Description:** Every technique has a lengthier description telling you more about what you must do and what its effects are.

___
You unleash a tendril of water to push or pull like the tides. Make a ranged elemental attack against a creature within range; on a hit, the target takes force damage equal to one roll of your Martial Arts die plus your Wisdom modifier, and is pushed away from you or pulled towards you, your choice. The target is moved up to a number of feet equal to 5 times the number of Ki points spent.
