Alternate Monk & Expanded v2.0.0
Added 2022-03-23 21:29:38 +0000 UTCHey all, back with a rather large update for my Alternate Monk class! This update includes some changes to the base class and two NEW Monastic Traditions based on the subclasses in *Xanathar’s Guide to Everything*: Way of the Drunken Fist (Drunken Master) and the Way of the Wuxia (Kensei). This update also comes with the first public release of the Alternate Monk: Expanded!
Change log

Flurry of Blows // Can only be used when you take the attack action and make unarmed strikes. 11th level improvement changed.
Monastic Traditions // added Signature Techniques for each Tradition
Slow Fall & Deflect Missiles // Now Techniques
Enlightened Fist // Now only unarmed strikes are magical (make way for the Wuxia)!
Stillness of Mind // Merged with Spirit of Tranquility
Way of the Drunken Fist // NEW Tradition based on the Way of the Drunken Master.
Open Hand // 3rd level features completely reworked. Ebb and Flow’s speed reduction given a duration. Empowered Strike renamed to Open Hand Strike

Way of the Wuxia // NEW Tradition based on the Way of the Kensei
Techniques // All Strike Techniques can only be used with melee attacks. Empowered Strike can knock back UP TO 5x your WIS mod feet. Patient Defense can be used for free at 11th level. Deflect Missiles can spend Ki to deflect spells at 11th level. Armor of the Ascetic happens at the end of every rest

2022-05-31 02:53:40 +0000 UTCWay of the Open Hand's Grand Master of the Open Hand says "When you use Flurry of Fists you make two additional unarmed strikes as part of that action instead of one." I can't find a "Flurry of Fists" anywhere, though. Did the name of something get changed in editing? My best guess was that this might be intended to refer to the basic Martial Arts ability of making an unarmed strike as a bonus action.
