One:Warrior of the Hand/ua23phpt6
Design Note: Warrior of the Hand
[1] Here are the main updates in this subclass (formerly Way of the Open Hand) since the Player's Handbook (5e). Here are the main updates to it:
- Open Hand Technique now requires a saving throw for all three effects, not just two of them.
- Wholeness of Body now requires a Bonus Action rather than an action, it can be used more than once per Long Rest, and its healing is tied to your Martial Arts die and Wisdom.
- Fleet Step is a new 11th-level feature that replaces Tranquility, one of the lowest-rated Monk features.
- Quivering Palm is no longer able to deal an uncapped amount of damage (reducing a creature with any number of Hit Points to 0), which was too powerful for the number of Discipline Points.
