Ki

Level 2, replaces the Ki feature
Your training allows you to harness the mystic energy of ki. Your access to this energy is represented by a number of ki points. Your monk level determines the number of points you have, as shown in the Ki Points column of the Monk table.
You can spend these points to fuel various ki features. You start knowing three such features: Flurry of Blows, Patient Defense, and Step of the Wind. You learn more ki features as you gain levels in this class.
When you spend a ki point, it is unavailable until you finish a short or long rest, at the end of which you draw all of your expended ki back into yourself. You must spend at least 30 minutes of the rest meditating to regain your ki points.
Some of your ki features require your target to make a saving throw to resist the feature's effects. The saving throw DC is calculated as follows:

Ki save DC = 8 + Wisdom modifier + Proficiency Bonus

Flurry of Blows: You can expend 1 Ki Point to make two Unarmed Strikes as a Bonus Action.

Patient Defense: You can take the Disengage action as a Bonus Action. Alternatively, you can expend 1 Ki Point to take both the Disengage and the Dodge actions as a Bonus Action.

Step of the Wind: You can take the Dash action as a Bonus Action. Alternatively, you can expend 1 Ki Point to take both the Disengage and Dash actions as a Bonus Action, and your jump distance is doubled for the turn.

Uncanny Metabolism

Level 2
Whenever you roll initiative, you can choose to regain all expended Ki Points. You also regain a number of hitpoints equal to one roll of your martial arts die plus your monk level.

Heightened Focus

Level 6
Your Flurry of Blows, Patient Defense, and Step of the Wind gain the following benefits.

Flurry of Blows: You can expend 2 Ki Points to use Flurry of Blows and make three Unarmed Strikes with it instead of two.

Patient Defense: When you expend a Ki Point to use Patient Defense, you gain a number of Temporary Hit Points equal to two rolls of your Martial Arts die.

Step of the Wind: When you expend a Ki Point to use Step of the Wind, you can choose a willing creature within 5 feet of yourself that is Large or smaller. You move the creature with you until the end of your turn. The creature's movement doesn't provoke Opportunity Attacks.

Deflect Energy

You can use Deflect Missiles against any ranged attack, not just weapon attacks.

Mind and Body

Level 20, replaces the Perfect Self feature
You have developed your body and mind to new heights. Your Dexterity and Wisdom scores increase by 4, to a maximum of 24.

Cunning Strike

Level 5
You've developed cunning ways to use your Sneak Attack. When you deal Sneak Attack damage, you can add one of the following Cunning Strike effects. Each effect has a die cost, which is the number of Sneak Attack damage dice you must forgo to add the effect. You remove the die before rolling, and the effect occurs immediately after the attack's damage is dealt.
If any of the Cunning Strike effects require a saving throw, the saving throw DC is calculated as follows:

Cunning Strike save DC = 8 + Dexterity modifier + Proficiency Bonus

Poison (Cost: 1d6): You add a toxin to your strike, forcing the target to make a Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, the target has the Poisoned condition for 1 minute. At the end of each of its turns, the Poisoned target repeats the save, ending the effect on itself on a success. To use this effect, you must have a Poisoner's Kit on your person.

Trip (Cost: 1d6): If the target is Large or smaller, it must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or have the Prone condition.

Withdraw (Cost: 1d6): Immediately after the attack, you move up to half your Speed without provoking Opportunity Attacks.

Knock Out (Cost: 6d6): The target must succeed on a Constitution saving throw, or it has the Unconscious condition for 1 minute or until it takes any damage. The Unconscious target repeats the save at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success.
