Monk Subclass: Way of the Golden Serpent

Radiant Flames of the Python

At 3rd level, you can channel the Yellow Fires of the Many Faced Flame to quicken your reactions and imbue your unarmed strikes with the essence of Xiba Potchli's Fire. You gain the following benefits:
  • Incandescent
  • Stoke the Inner Fire: If you fail a Strength (Athletics ) or Dexterity (Acrobatics) check, you can use your reaction to reroll the check, as you tap into the mighty flame that burns within. Once this feature turns a failure into a success, you can’t use it again until you finish a long rest.
  • Tongue of the Elements: You learn to speak, read, and write Tletlan, a secret language spoken only by Elemental Creatures.

Coiling Serpent

Starting at 3rd level, you learn to take advantage of an enemy’s movement with deadly efficiency. When a creature enters or leaves the reach of your unarmed strike, you may use your reaction to make an unarmed attack against that creature. This unarmed attack deals extra radiant damage equal to your Martial Arts die.   At 11th level, the extra damage of this feature increases to two rolls of your Martial Arts die.   You can use this feature a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest. While you have no uses available, you can spend 1 ki points to use this feature again.

Serpentine Deflection

Starting at 6th level, your reflexes are heightened and your eyes burn yellow, becoming ophidian in nature. You may add your wisdom modifier to the damage reduced from Deflect Missiles. Additionally, if you make a ranged attack using the Deflect Missiles feature, it deals additional radiant damage equal to your martial arts die.   At 11th level, the extra damage of this feature increases to two rolls of your Martial Arts die.   You gain a second reaction each turn that you can only use for Serpentine Deflection.

Teachings of the Scales

At 11th level the power of your divine flames now radiates from you, scourging your enemies and bolstering your body. As a bonus action, you can wreathe yourself in the Yelllow Flames of the Sun for 1 minute. For the duration, you gain the following effects:
  • Deflect Energy. You may now use Serpentine Deflection on any ranged attack that solely target you.
  • Surging Flames. Your reach increases by 5 feet.

Ascendant of Flames

At 17th level, your link to the Many Faced Flame reaches its peak. You gain the following benefits:
  • Improved Second Reaction. You may now use the second reaction gained from Serpentine Deflection without restriction.
  • Blindsight. You can sense the spark that bestows life within all things. You gain blindsight out to 10 feet. Within that range, you can effectively see anything that isn’t behind total cover, even if you’re blinded or in darkness. Moreover, you can see an invisible creature within that range, unless the creature successfully hides from you.
  • Explosive Fury. When you activate Coiling Serpent, elemental fury explodes from you. Choose any number of creatures you can see in your aura. Each of those creatures must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw against your ki save DC or take 3d10 radiant.
