===Martial Arts===
''1st level''<span style="display:inlineblock; float:right;"> <ref name="srd52.4952" /><ref name="24fr" /><ref name="phb5e24" /> </span><br />
Your practice of martial arts gives you mastery of combat styles that use your {{5e24|Unarmed Strike}} and {{anchor|Monk Weapon}}s, which are the following:
* {{5e24|Simple Weapon|Simple}} {{5e24|Melee Weapon}}s
* {{5e24|Martial Weapon|Martial}} Melee weapons that have the {{5e24|Light Weapon|Light}} property
You gain the following benefits while you are unarmed or wielding only Monk weapons and you aren’t wearing {{5e24lc|Armor}} or wielding a {{5e24|Shield}}.

'''{{anchor|Bonus Unarmed Strike}}.''' You can make an Unarmed Strike as a {{5e24|Bonus Action}}.

'''{{anchor|Martial Arts Die}}.''' You can roll 1d6 in place of the normal damage of your Unarmed Strike or {{iplink|Monk Weapon}}s. This die changes as you gain Monk levels, as shown in the Martial Arts column of the {{iplink|Monk Features}} table.

'''Dexterous Attacks.''' You can use your {{5e24|Dexterity}} {{5e24|Ability Modifier|modifier}} instead of your {{5e24|Strength}} modifier for the {{5e24|Attack Roll|attack}} and {{5e24lc|Damage Roll}}s of your Unarmed Strikes and Monk weapons. In addition, when you use the {{5e24|Grapple}} or {{5e24|Shove}} option of your Unarmed Strike, you can use your Dexterity modifier instead of your Strength modifier to determine the {{5e24lc|Save}} {{5e24|DC}}.

===Unarmored Defense===
''1st level''<span style="display:inlineblock; float:right;"> <ref name="srd52.4952" /><ref name="24fr" /><ref name="phb5e24" /> </span><br />
While you aren’t wearing armor or wielding a Shield, your base {{5e24|Armor Class}} equals 10 plus your Dexterity and {{5e24|Wisdom}} modifiers.

===Monk's Focus===
''2nd level''<span style="display:inlineblock; float:right;"> <ref name="24fr" /><ref name="phb5e24" /> </span>
Your focus and martial training allow you to harness a well of extraordinary energy within yourself. This energy is represented by {{anchor|Focus Point}}s. Your Monk level determines the number of points you have, as shown in the Focus Points column of the Monk Features table.

You can expend these points to enhance or fuel certain Monk features. You start knowing three such features: {{iplink|Flurry of Blows}}, {{iplink|Patient Defense}}, and {{iplink|Step of the Wind}}, each of which is detailed below.

When you expend a Focus Point, it is unavailable until you finish a {{5e Rest}}, at the end of which you regain all your expended points.

Some features that use Focus Points require your target to make a {{5e24lc|Saving Throw}}. The save DC equals 8 plus your Wisdom modifier and {{5e24|Proficiency Bonus}}.

'''{{anchor|Flurry of Blows}}.''' You can expend 1 Focus Point to make two Unarmed Strikes as a Bonus Action.

'''{{anchor|Patient Defense}}.''' You can take the {{5e24|Disengage}} {{5e24lc|Action}} as a Bonus Action. Alternatively, you can expend 1 Focus Point to take both the Disengage and the {{5e24|Dodge}} actions as a Bonus Action.

'''{{anchor|Step of the Wind}}.''' You can take the {{5e24|Dash}} action as a Bonus Action. Alternatively, you can expend 1 Focus Point to take both the Disengage and Dash actions as a Bonus Action, and your {{5e24lc|Jump}} distance is doubled for the {{5e24|Turn}}.

===Unarmored Movement===
''2nd level''<span style="display:inlineblock; float:right;"> <ref name="srd52.4952" /><ref name="24fr" /><ref name="phb5e24" /> </span><br />
Your speed increases by 10 feet while you aren’t wearing armor or wielding a Shield. This bonus increases when you reach certain Monk levels, as shown on the Monk Features table.

===Uncanny Metabolism===
''2nd level''<span style="display:inlineblock; float:right;"> <ref name="srd52.4952" /><ref name="24fr" /><ref name="phb5e24" /> </span><br />
When you roll {{5e24|Initiative}}, you can regain all expended Focus Points. When you do so, roll your Martial Arts die, and regain a number of {{5e24|Hit Point}}s equal to your Monk level plus the number rolled.

Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a Long Rest.

===Defect Attacks===
''3rdlevel''<span style="display:inlineblock; float:right;"> <ref name="srd52.4952" /><ref name="24fr" /><ref name="phb5e24" /> </span><br />
When an {{5e24lc|Attack Roll}} hits you and its damage includes {{5e24|Bludgeoning}}, {{5e24|Piercing}}, or {{5e24|Slashing}} damage, you can take a {{5e24|Reaction}} to reduce the attack’s total damage against you. The reduction equals 1d10 plus your Dexterity modifier and Monk level.

If you reduce the damage to 0, you can expend 1 Focus Point to redirect some of the attack’s force. If you do so, choose a {{5e24lc|Creature}} you can see within 5 feet of yourself if the attack was a {{5e24lc|Melee Attack}} or a creature you can see within 60 feet of yourself that isn’t behind {{5e24|Total Cover}} if the attack was a {{5e24lc|Ranged Attack}}. That creature must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or take damage equal to two rolls of your Martial Arts die plus your Dexterity modifier. The damage is the same type dealt by the attack.

===Monk Subclass===
''3rd level''<span style="display:inlineblock; float:right;"> <ref name="srd52.4952" /><ref name="24fr" /><ref name="phb5e24" /> </span><br />
You gain a Monk subclass of your choice. The Warrior of the Open Hand subclass is detailed after this class’s description. A subclass is a specialization that grants you features at certain Monk levels. For the rest of your career, you gain each of your subclass’s features that are of your Monk level or lower.

====List of Monk Subclasses====

===Ability Score Improvement===
''4th, 8th, 12th, 16th level''<span style="display:inlineblock; float:right;"> <ref name="srd52.4952" /><ref name="24fr" /><ref name="phb5e24" /> </span><br />
You gain the {{5e24|Ability Score Improvement}} feat or another feat of your choice for which you qualify. You gain this feature again at Fighter levels 8, 12, and 16.

===Slow Fall===
''4th level''<span style="display:inlineblock; float:right;"> <ref name="srd52.4952" /><ref name="24fr" /><ref name="phb5e24" /> </span><br />
You can take a Reaction when you fall to reduce any damage you take from the fall by an amount equal to five times your Monk level.

===Extra Attack===
''5th level''<span style="display:inlineblock; float:right;"> <ref name="srd52.4952" /><ref name="24fr" /><ref name="phb5e24" /> </span><br />
You can attack twice instead of once whenever you take the {{5e24|Attack}} action on your turn.

===Stunning Strike===
''5th level''<span style="display:inlineblock; float:right;"> <ref name="srd52.4952" /><ref name="24fr" /><ref name="phb5e24" /> </span><br />
Once per turn when you hit a creature with a Monk weapon or an Unarmed Strike, you can expend 1 Focus Point to attempt a stunning strike. The target must make a {{5e24|Constitution}} saving throw. On a failed save, the target has the {{5e24|Stunned}} condition until the start of your next turn. On a successful save, the target’s Speed is {{5e24|Half|halved}} until the start of your next turn, and the next attack roll made against the target before then has {{5e24|Advantage}}.

===Empowered Strikes===
''6th level''<span style="display:inlineblock; float:right;"> <ref name="srd52.4952" /><ref name="24fr" /><ref name="phb5e24" /> </span><br />
Whenever you deal damage with your Unarmed Strike, it can deal your choice of {{5e24|Force}} damage or its normal damage type.

===Evasion===
''7th level''<span style="display:inlineblock; float:right;"> <ref name="srd52.4952" /><ref name="24fr" /><ref name="phb5e24" /> </span><br />
When you’re subjected to an effect that allows you to make a Dexterity saving throw to take only half damage, you instead take no damage if you succeed on the saving throw and only half damage if you fail.

You don’t benefit from this feature if you have the {{5e24|Incapacitated}} condition.

===Acrobatic Movement===
''9th level''<span style="display:inlineblock; float:right;"> <ref name="srd52.4952" /><ref name="24fr" /><ref name="phb5e24" /> </span><br />
While you aren’t wearing armor or wielding a Shield, you gain the ability to move along vertical surfaces and across liquids on your turn without falling during the movement.

===Heightened Focus===
''10th level''<span style="display:inlineblock; float:right;"> <ref name="srd52.4952" /><ref name="24fr" /><ref name="phb5e24" /> </span><br />
Your {iplink|Flurry of Blows}}, {{iplink|Patient Defense}}, and {{iplink|Step of the Wind}} gain the following benefits.

'''Flurry of Blows.''' You can expend 1 Focus Point to use Flurry of Blows and make three Unarmed Strikes with it instead of two.

'''Patient Defense.''' When you expend a Focus Point to use Patient Defense, you gain a number of {{5e24|Temporary Hit Point}}s equal to two rolls of your Martial Arts die.

'''Step of the Wind.''' When you expend a Focus Point to use Step of the Wind, you can choose a willing creature within 5 feet of yourself that is {{5e24|Large}} or smaller. You move the creature with you until the end of your turn. The creature’s movement doesn’t provoke {{5e24|Opportunity Attack}}s.

===Self-Restoration===
''10th level''<span style="display:inlineblock; float:right;"> <ref name="srd52.4952" /><ref name="24fr" /><ref name="phb5e24" /> </span><br />
Through sheer force of will, you can remove one of the following conditions from yourself at the end of each of your turns: Charmed, Frightened, or {{5e24|Poisoned}}.

In addition, forgoing food and drink doesn’t give you levels of {{5e24|Exhaustion}}.

===Deflect Energy===
''13th level''<span style="display:inlineblock; float:right;"> <ref name="srd52.4952" /><ref name="24fr" /><ref name="phb5e24" /> </span><br />
You can now use your {{iplink|Deflect Attacks}} feature against attacks that deal any {{5e24lc|Damage Type}}, not just Bludgeoning, Piercing, or Slashing.

===Disciplined Survivor===
''14th level''<span style="display:inlineblock; float:right;"> <ref name="24fr" /><ref name="phb5e24" /> </span><br />
Your physical and mental discipline grant you proficiency in all saving throws.

Additionally, whenever you make a saving throw and fail, you can expend 1 Focus Point to reroll it, and you must use the new roll.

===Perfect Focus===
''15th level''<span style="display:inlineblock; float:right;"> <ref name="srd52.4952" /><ref name="24fr" /><ref name="phb5e24" /> </span><br />
When you roll Initiative and don’t use {{iplink|Uncanny Metabolism}}, you regain expended Focus Points until you have 4 if you have 3 or fewer.

===Superior Defense===
''18th level''<span style="display:inlineblock; float:right;"> <ref name="srd52.4952" /><ref name="24fr" /><ref name="phb5e24" /> </span><br />
At the start of your turn, you can expend 3 Focus Points to bolster yourself against harm for 1 {{5e24lc|Minute}} or until you have the Incapacitated condition. During that time, you have Resistance to all damage except Force damage.
