Way of the Limitless (5e Subclass)
Way of the Limitless
Monk Subclass
Monks have always worked hard to push their body to their limit, making them deadly weapons, but the legendary monk: Yung of the Three Lights sought a way to better Himself even further and after many years of training, he developed the Forbidden art that is the way of the limitless.
One of the many forbidden arts, the way of the limitless is based around removing the limits of one's body by enormous self-control and the usage of ki. Practitioners of this Forbidden art are able to push themselves past their limits temporarily healing themselves and boosting their damage but they need to be careful as there is a price to pay for the tremendous power the way of the Limitless gives.

Each time you open a door the 10 minutes resets and the bonus it gives add up to what the previous door's bonuses. Each door open adds up to the exhaustion level and more then one door can be opened at a time. (1 door = 1 exhaustion level)

- Limit Push
At 6th level you gain the ability to push your limit. By spending one Ki point, you gain an extra action that turn, but for the next minute you will have a -1 penalty to all rolls. You can push your limit a number of times equal to your Dexterity modifier (minimum of one) before taking a long rest.
- Restoration of the Soul
At 11th Level you gain the ability to heal your exhaustion by meditating. To do so, you need to meditate for 1 uninterrupted hour per exhaustion level you wish to remove. It costs 2 ki points per exhaustion level and ki points spent this way can only be restored by one week of uninterrupted rest. You can also use this ability as part of a long or short rest.
- Limitless
At 17th level you learn how to surpass your limits even when doing the simplest of actions, and as such you add your Proficiency bonus to all rolls.
