The Way of The Force
T
he way of the force is an ancient and
mysterious way among the monks. A tradition
said only to have been practiced by "The
Master of Ancient Ways" and a few hands that
met him, since then. Because of it's little
usage, even though it has given great power to
it's users and turned them into legends, it has
been lost to time. The way of the force is said to be the primal
form of ki manipulation, tying a user deeply to his or her
lifeforce and the energy of the universe. As ki is the energy
that binds everything together, from the greatest of dragons
to the smallest of insects, the potential in it's practice can
lead one to tremondous power, allowing individuals to
manipulate the fabric of reality and showcase unbelievable
feats of strenght. Yet those who practice this lost tradition
can also fall victim to it's overwhelming power, said to corrupt
and twist the minds of those who aren't powerful enough to
resist it's temptations.
Disciplines of the Force
Beginning when you choose this tradition at 3rd level, you
know the most basic of force techniques of all. These require
very little force energy, an amount that is almost
automatically recovered, but they can be strengthened by
pouring more into them. You know the following and prepare
one of them per long rest:
Force Assault:
You use the Force to enhance your fighting abilities. During
combat, you can take a bonus action to add 1d4 force damage
to each of your attack til the end of your next turn. When you
activate this ability, you can expend a number of ki points
equal to your wisdom modifier (minimum of 1). For each ki
point spent, add 1d4 of force damage.

Force Push:
You know how to hit your enemies with a wave of pure force
energy. As an attack, you can fire a blast of force energy in a
15 foot cone, a 20 foot line or a 25/50 attack roll. Targeted
creatures must make a constitution saving throw equal to
your monk save DC or take force damage equal to your
martial arts dice+your wisdom modifier and be pushed back
10 feet.If you make an attack with this feature, an unarmed
strike or a monk weapon you can make another attack with
this feature as a bonus action.When you use this attack, you
can spend a number of ki points up to your proficiency bonus
to increase the range of the chosen attack by 5 ft per point
spent. This can be used with Flurry of Blows.
Force Grip:
Using the force, you can lift and move objects and creatures
by manipulating the force within them. As an action, you can
lift any willing creature or object not being worn/carried that
is Small or Tiny, and can move it up to 30 feet as an action or
throw it at a creature you can see as a monk weapon attack
with a range of 30/60. To continue holding said object or
creature, you must either keep using your action on each of
your turns to do so or spend 1 ki point at the start of each of
your turns to maintain concentration. If the target is an
unwilling creature or an object being worn/carried, the
targeted creature must make a strength save. They can
continue to make the save at the start of each of their turns if
they fail if they were what was targeted and not an object they
were wearing or carrying.When you use this feature you can
expend a number of ki points equal to your proficiency bonus
to pick up additional objects or creatures per point spent so
long as they meet the size requirements.The maximum size
you can pick up becomes Medium at 6th level, Large at 10th,
Huge at 15th and Gargantuan at 18th.

Mind Power
The force not only connects everything physically and
spiritually, but mentally as well, and this connection can be
used to affect the minds of others. At 3rd level, you have 40
feet of telepathy, and can use this on any creature regardless
on if you share a language with them or not. However, if a
creature has an intelligence score of 6 or less, you can only
communicate basic images and feelings between you and the
creature, such as what the creature recently saw or how
fearful and or calm it is at the current moment.In addition,
you can spend 2 ki points to cast Detect thoughts as an
action.
Force Techniques
At 6th level, you have begun to learn more ways to use and
control the force. You learn 2 from the following:
Force Speed:
Using the force you are able to make yourself move much
more swiftly. You can spend 2 ki points to double your
movement speed until the end of your next turn. You can
choose to spend 1 ki point every turn afterwards to keep this
active. This feature is regained after a short or long rest.

instead of touch.In addition, when you are targeted with a

points to gain a high jump equal to your walking speed, and a

and you are restricted from using your ki related abilities
until you are able to sync your body with your ki energy.
