== Elemental Disciplines ==
 +
Disciplines may have a prerequisite, this gives the minimum monk level you must be to learn the discipline.
 +
All disciplines also list one or more elements. This matters mostly if you follow the [[Way_of_the_Four_Elements_(5A)#Way_of_the_One_Element|Way of the One Element]], then you can only take the discipline if your element is listed.
 +
Some disciplines have a different effect depending on the element, often different types of damage. If you follow the Way of Four Elements, you can choose which elemental effect you want each time you use the discipline.
 +
Physical damage (bludgeoning, piercing, slashing) inflicted by disciplines is magical damage.

== Designer's Notes ==
 +
Lots of things done here, lots of disciplines added.
 +
* Added lots and lots of new spells, both from new sources and just in general.
 +
* When there was a choice of similar spells, I went for the simplest one from the oldest book.
 +
* I strove to give each element the same number of spells each level, and also the same number of utility spells. There are still differences, fire generally has a little less versatility.
 +
* With the die type upgrades in the class, damage spells stay competitive even compared to same level sorcerers and wizards. Fireball especially is a monster, tough it never comes up to Meteor Swarm damage.
 +
* Made many spells work with more than one element with small alterations per the element.
 +
* Used half-caster levels throughout.
 +
* Shape the Flowing River got a major cost increase, it is basically the water version of Move Earth, but its fair that it costs less since ice is not normally permanent.
 +
* I included one 6th level spell, Move Earth, to match Shape the Flowing River.

Elemental Disciplines

Disciplines may have a prerequisite, this gives the minimum monk level you must be to learn the discipline. All disciplines also list one or more elements. This matters mostly if you follow the Way of the One Element, then you can only take the discipline if your element is listed. Some disciplines have a different effect depending on the element, often different types of damage. If you follow the Way of Four Elements, you can choose which elemental effect you want each time you use the discipline. Physical damage (bludgeoning, piercing, slashing) inflicted by disciplines is magical damage.

Designer's Notes

Lots of things done here, lots of disciplines added.

  • Added lots and lots of new spells, both from new sources and just in general.
  • When there was a choice of similar spells, I went for the simplest one from the oldest book.
  • I strove to give each element the same number of spells each level, and also the same number of utility spells. There are still differences, fire generally has a little less versatility.
  • With the die type upgrades in the class, damage spells stay competitive even compared to same level sorcerers and wizards. Fireball especially is a monster, tough it never comes up to Meteor Swarm damage.
  • Made many spells work with more than one element with small alterations per the element.
  • Used half-caster levels throughout.
  • Shape the Flowing River got a major cost increase, it is basically the water version of Move Earth, but its fair that it costs less since ice is not normally permanent.
  • I included one 6th level spell, Move Earth, to match Shape the Flowing River.
