1st Level:

Unarmored Defense:

While you’re not wearing any armor nor wielding a shield your AC = 10+ DEX modifier + WIS modifier.

Martial Arts:

Your mastery of the combat styles that uses unarmed strikes and monk weapons (simple weapons that don’t
have the two-handed or heavy property and shorts words) gives you the following benefits, as long as you’re
no wearing any armor or using a shield:

 You can use your DEX instead of STR to make your attack and damage rolls.
 You can roll a d4 in place of the normal damage for your attacks (this die changes as you gain monk
levels, as shown in the martial arts column on the monk table).
 When you use you attack action, you can make an unarmed strike as a bonus action (as long as you
haven’t used your bonus action yet)

2nd Level:

Your training allows you to harness the mystic energy of Ki, your access to this energy is represented by Ki
Points, the number of points that you have is determined by your monk level, as shown in the Ki Points
column on the monk table. You gain all the Ki points you spent after you finish a short or long rest (you must
spend at least 30 min. meditating to regain your Ki points).

You can spend your Ki points to fuel various ki features, you start knowing three of them, and you learn more
as you gain levels in this class. Some of these features require your target to make a saving throw to resist its
effects, the DC = 8+Prof. bonus+ WIS modifier.

unarmed attacks as a bonus action instead of one.

following benefits:

Kensei Weapons: Choose two types of weapons to be your Kensei weapons: one melee and one ranged
weapon, they mustn’t have the heavy or special properties (except for the longbow) , you gain proficiency
with them, and they become monk weapons for you. When you reach 6 th, 11th, and 17th level you can
choose another type of weapon (ether melee or ranged), following the criteria above, to be a kensei
weapon for you.

 Agile Parry: If you make an unarmed strike as part of the Attack action on your turn and you’re holding
a melee weapon, you can use it to defend yourself. You gain +2 to you AC until the start of your next turn
