Martial Arts

At 1st level, your practice of martial arts gives you mastery of combat styles that use unarmed strikes.

- You gain the following benefits while you are unarmed and you aren’t wearing armor or wielding a shield:

- You can use Dexterity instead of Strength for the attack and damage rolls of your unarmed strikes.

- You can roll a d6 in place of the normal damage of your unarmed strike or monk weapon. This die changes as you gain monk levels, as shown in the Martial Arts column of the Monkey King table.

When you use the Attack action with an unarmed strike, you can make one unarmed strike as a bonus action. For example, if you take the Attack action and attack with a quarterstaff, you can also make an unarmed strike as a bonus action, assuming you haven’t already taken a bonus action this turn.

Unarmored Defense

Beginning at 1st level, while you are wearing no armor and not wielding a shield, your AC equals 10 + your Dexterity modifier + your Wisdom modifier.

Renewal Taekwondo

Starting at 2nd level, you begin to remember the techniques you once used in your former glory. You have a choice of two skills detailed at the end of the class. As you level up you will learn more skills and get stronger as you do so. To use skills, you must spend Will Points.

Will Points

Starting at 2nd level, you gain access to Will Points. Will Points within this class are consumed to use certain moves or abilities. When you want to use a Renewal Taekwondo move, you must spend the required Will Points for the move. At 2nd level you have 2 Will Points, which you gain more of as you level. You regain all Will Points after a short or long rest, and you can only engage in light activity at the most during those periods. All abilities that use Will Points share the same Save DC.

Save DC= 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier

King's Path

Starting at 3rd level, you chose a path that decides what sort of King you will emulate. Choose between Path of Armory, Path of Rebirth, and Path of the Beast, all detailed at the end of the class description. Your choice grants you features at 3rd level and again at 6th, 11th, and 17th level.

Ability Score Increase

When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th and 19th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1. As normal, you can't increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.

Quick Learner

Starting at 5th level, when you are hit by an attack, you can learn to copy it. When you are hit by an attack, you can spend 1 Will Point per die of damage it does to be able to use that attack or ability for 1 minute. Any weapon attack is done with your unarmed strikes and the damage is changed accordingly. Spells cannot be copied but at the DM's discretion, some organic abilities can be. At 10th level, you are able to copy up to 2 attacks for 1 minute instead of the usual 1. You can only use this feature once per long rest.
