Way of Mercy (5A)

Starfox's 5th Edition Fan Page

Simple Revision.

Too powerful with the revised Ki recovery rules here. If not using these rules, this is one of the few recommended monk subclasses.

Hand of Healing At 3rd level, your mystical touch can mend wounds. As an action, you can spend 1 ki point to touch a creature (except yourself) and restore a number of hit points equal to a roll of your Martial Arts die + your proficiency bonus in the Medicine skill. You take 1 hp of damage when you do this. No resistance or immunity can reduce the damage you take.

Physician's Touch Using these options costs 1 ki per use.

Flurry of Healing and Harm If you use a Physician's Touch option with both your flurry of blows attacks, the total cost is 3 ki - one for Flurry of Blows and one for each attack altered by Physician's Touch.

Designer's Notes

It is a bit sad to go in and nerf a monk subclass. But considering how much the base monk has improved, I felt I had to cut the Way of Mercy down a bit to make it comparable to other subclasses.
