There is no set inspiration to rebellion, sometimes you need to go above and beyond to defeat your
opponents and make sure they stay down for good--Teaching a proper, harsh lesson to those around
them who are aware of your presence. Those who stray from the path of a martial artist are considered
dishonorable bastards in the eyes of masters, much similar to the Ronin in Samurai culture and ode to
their code of Bushido. While you do hold your initial martial arts dear to you, you shun it and use
alternative methods that amplify your tactics, ensuring that victory is guaranteed and not left to chance.
Level Features
3 Delinquent Goju-Ryu Karate, Demon Ki
Demon Ki
Additionally, when reaching 3rd level, your unarmed strikes are infused
with ki that has lost its way; rather than its wispy form of soul-like aura, it
now shows in the form of red crackling lightning, but has no distinct
element despite its form. When you drop a creature’s hit points to 0, the
ecstasy of battle fills your soul and causes this ki to surge throughout your
body; whenever you take the dash action, you don’t provoke opportunity
attacks when passing by other creatures, and your next attack is done at
advantage. This benefit disappears after the attack, regardless if it
connects or not.
Explosive Ki Fist
Starting at 6th level; you gain the ability to channel your ki to crazily surge into
one distinct limb, at the cost of 2 ki points, you can exchange one of your unarmed
strikes to perform the Thunderwave spell. This is reduced to 1 ki point if you
choose to use your Flurry of Blows feature prior to the technique. If the creature
you’re targeting is pushed against a wall or vertical surface, their next
Constitution saving throw is done at disadvantage.
Farewell to Purity
Additionally at 6th level, when using your Deflect Missles feature, if you
reduce the damage to 0, you can choose to gain temporary hit points equal
to the damage reduced as the unstable ki absorbs the impacts of the
missile. Performing this causes the missile to disintegrate.
Rebellious Strike
Upon reaching 11th level, whenever you take damage from a melee weapon
or spell attack, you can choose to take additional damage equal to a roll of
your current martial arts die. If you do, you can make an attack of
opportunity using your unarmed strike immediately after their attack or
spell. Alternatively, this could be done with any of your techniques from
the Delinquent Goju-Ryu Karate subclass feature.
Eclipse Form
Additionally at 11th level, when you reach below half of your maximum hit points,
you may enter the Eclipse Form; your ki begins to leak at random times
throughout your body and rapidly engulfs your limbs upon attacks in a new form
of a dark shade of purple atop your red lightning, thus gaining the following
benefits:
This feature can be used equal to your proficiency modifier per short rest and
lasts for an hour.
If your hit points reach 0, the form and its benefits end. Upon regaining
consciousness, the dark shade of purple lightning begins to randomly surge and
scorch your body in a sense of unease, dealing half of your Wisdom modifier
(rounded down) to you in force damage a total of 3 times within the next hour;
this damage cannot be reduced or altered. This damage must be dealt before
regaining access to the feature. Furthermore, you cannot perform a short or long
rest; nor gain benefits from spells thereof (Such as the Catnap spell) Nor regain hit
die until this damage is taken.
The Forbidden Black Wyvern Technique
Starting at 17th level, you are considered beyond dishonorable and are now
shunned by every monastic tradition in history, from Long Death, to
Shadow, to Kensei and so on…Even the very unstable ki within your body,
has now abandoned you. However, you now know the reason behind this
rebellious path--The presence of a Black Wyvern has disguised itself within
you your entire journey, jointing its very soul with your ki. Its presence
allows you to keep your unstable ki in your body while suffocating the
lightning surges in a wisp of black shadow.
You are now granted two techniques that have been considered forbidden
by many monks throughout history:
