Way of Zerthimon



Derived from the teachings of Zerthimon, the founder of the Githzerai race, this technique focuses on movement and using movement to gain the upper hand in combat. The Githzerai in the city of Jebeel only teach this technique to those who take it seriously.

Psionic Technique
At 3rd level, members of this tradition gain the gain the ability spend Ki points and add effects to their attacks. The cost below only adds the effect to the one attack (for instance not all the attacks of Flurry of Blows, just one). Only one effect can be added per turn. The player can decide to spend the point after they discovered they successfully hit on an attack.
 * 1 Ki Point – target must make a Constitution saving throw or increase their level of Exhaustion by 1.
 * 1 Ki Point – target must make a Constitution saving throw or be Blinded for 1d4 rounds
 * 2 Ki Points – target must make Constitution saving throw or be stunned for 1 round

Dazzling Movement
At 6th level, the Monk gains the ability to get a whole extra move action. This allows the Monk to move up to their their full speed in addition to their normal move action, except this extra movement does not provoke attack of opportunities. This allows the Monk to move into flanking positions, or to move onto their next target quickly after their normal action and move have been completed. This ability can only be used once, but is regained after a short or long rest.

Untouched
At 11th level, whenever the Monk is in a move action, they are under the effect of the Blur spell. This only works if the Monk is conscious and taking a move action. This gives disadvantage on anyone who attacks him while he’s moving, effectively making attacks of opportunity and surprise attacks less effective against the Monk.

Stunning Assault
At 17th level, the Monk can spend 3 Ki points when they successfully hit on an attack and add a devastating effect. The target who fails his Constitution saving throw is stunned for 1d4 rounds and they add 2 levels of exhaustion. If they pass their save, they aren’t stunned but they still add on the levels of exhaustion.
