Way of the Elemental Bender (5e Subclass)

Elemental Bender

As you move swiftly across the battlefield you cause fire to leap from your fists searing your enemies, earth to rupture out of the ground and smash them, water to flow and drown them, or air to blast them across several feet. You are the warrior that controls the elements around you. You are a Bender.

Elemental Affinity
When you take this Monastic Tradition at 3rd level, you choose a single element from either Fire, Water, Earth, or Air. This will be used throughout the rest of the subclass. You also gain the ability to use a cantrip and gain an passive attribute.
Fire: Control flames | With your affinity over the element of fire, you become more aggressive in your fighting. At the start of your turn if you use your action to make an unarmed attack you may add +1 to the attack rolls of all subsequent unarmed attacks until the end of your turn.
Water: Shape Water | With your affinity over the element of water, you become more like a flowing stream, punishing those that try to force their way through you. Whenever you make an opportunity attack with an unarmed attack, you gain a +1 to the damage roll. Also, even if a creature disengages, they still provoke opportunity attacks from you.
Earth: Mold Earth | With your affinity over the element of earth, you gain the ability to cause an enemy to be put off balance. If a creature within 15 feet of you makes an attack against you or a creature you can see, you may use your reaction to cause the earth beneath their feet to shift, or other way of impeding their aim, causing disadvantage on that attack roll.
Air: Gust | With your affinity over the element of air, you become like a floating leaf. Whenever you take the dash action your jump distance and height is doubled and you are unaffected by difficult terrain.

Elemental Strike
Starting at 6th level you gain the ability to imbue your body movements with the power of your chosen element and attack with it.
Fire: Whenever you use the attack action to make an unarmed attack you may choose to gain +5 feet to your reach and deal fire damage instead of bludgeoning.

• Whenever you cast the cantrip Control flames you may make a ranged spell attack instead to cause the fire to strike a creature within range dealing 2d(monk weapon die) fire damage. You do not need any preexisting fire to make this attack, however you may choose to use a preexisting source of fire. This spell is unaffected by the prone condition if you do.
  

Water: Whenever you make an unarmed attack using the Ready action or an opportunity attack, you may choose to also drag/push it like a river. The creature must succeed on a strength saving throw or be pushed 15 feet through your square, without your square costing additional feet, and away from you in a direction of your choice. You may also do this as a reaction if a creature misses with a melee attack against you, and the creature is within your reach.

• Whenever you cast the cantrip Shape Water you may make a ranged spell attack instead to cause the water to strike a creature within range dealing 2d(monk weapon die) cold damage. You do not need any preexisting water to make this attack, however you may choose to use a preexisting source of water. This spell is unaffected by the prone condition if you do.
  

Earth: Whenever you take the Dodge action, you gain advantage on all saving throws versus pushing, pulling, and knocking you prone. Also, if you take the dodge action and before the start of your next turn a creature makes an attack against you and misses, you may use your reaction to push them 15 feet away from you.

• Whenever you cast the cantrip Mold Earth you may make a ranged spell attack instead to cause the earth to strike a creature within range dealing 2d(one die size lower than monk weapon die) bludgeoning damage, and succeed on a strength saving throw or be knocked prone. You do not need any preexisting earth to make this attack, however you may choose to use a preexisting source of earth. This spell is unaffected by the prone condition if you do.
  

Air: You now gain the swiftness of the wind and may take the dash, disengage, or dodge action as a bonus action without costing any ki points.

• Whenever you cast the cantrip Gust you may make a ranged spell attack instead to cause the air to strike a creature within range dealing 2d(one die size lower than monk weapon die) bludgeoning damage, and cause the creature to be pushed 10 feet. You do not need any preexisting air to make this attack, however you may choose to use a preexisting source of air. This spell is unaffected by the prone condition if you do.

All creatures hit by this must succeed on a dexterity saving throw or take 4d8 bludgeoning damage and are knocked prone, taking half as much damage and not knocked prone on a successful one. This lava counts as difficult terrain and at the start of a creatures turn that is standing in it or when a creature first enters the area, it must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or take 5d6 fire damage or half as much on a successful one. The terrain affected this way lasts for a minute. For every ki point you spend above 4 you can create 10 square feet more of molten lava up to a maximum of 6 ki points.
