Way of Thunder and Lightning[edit]

monk subclass

Monks that learn the Way of Thunder and Lightning gain earth-shattering power. Utilizing this power similarly to that of a blue dragon, the monks that attain this power are difficult to best in combat.

Tempest Fists

Starting at 3rd level when you choose this Monk Tradition, you can use your ki to call upon the power of the storm to infuse your strikes. When you hit a creature with a unarmed strike made as part of your Attack action, you can spend 1 ki point to deal additional lighting or thunder damage to the target and to a creature within 5 feet of it. The additional damage equals a roll of your martial arts die.

Storm Vengeance

Also at 3rd level, you can avenge attacks made against you calling upon the power of the storms. When a creature within 5 feet of you that you can see hit you with an attack, you can spend 1 ki points as a reaction to force that creature to make a Dexterity saving throw against your ki save DC. On a failed save, the target take damage equal to your martial arts die + your Wisdom modifier.

In addition, if you use your deflect projectiles feature to throw a projectile back to the attacker, you cause the storm vengeance damage on a hit.

Thunderous Strike

At 6th level, when you deal lightning or thunder damage to a Large or smaller creature, you can also push it up to 10 feet away from you.

Storm of Strikes

At 11th level, when you use Flurry of Blows, you can use your Tempest Fists feature without spending additional ki points.

Stormborn

At 17th level, you have a flying speed equal to your current walking speed whenever you are not underground or indoors.
