While all Monks are able to wield the weapons of their style to great effect, those who follow the Way of Wuxia dedicate their lives to complete mastery over a chosen few weapons. These warriors are known for their extreme focus and are always seeking progressively stronger warriors to challenge and test their skill with their chosen weapons of war.
Wuxia Techniques
3rd-level Monk (Way of the Wuxia) Feature
You learn certain Techniques at the levels noted in the table below. They don't count against your number of Techniques Known and they cannot be switched upon gaining a level.
| Monk Level | Technique |
|---|
| 3rd | patient defense |
| 5th | seeking strike |
| 9th | heavenly step |
Student of Steel
3rd-level Monk (Way of the Wuxia) Feature
You seek mastery with your signature weapons. Choose one melee weapon without the heavy or special properties, and one ranged weapon to become your Wuxia Weapons. If you were not already, you gain proficiency with these weapons, and they qualify for your Martial Arts attacks. You choose an additional Wuxia Weapon at 6th, 11th, and 17th levels.
Your training also allows you to use the features below:
Masterful Aim. As a bonus action on your turn, you can focus your spirit to increase your accuracy, and for the next Wuxia Weapon attack roll you make before the end of your current turn, you can treat a d20 roll of 7 or lower as an 8.
Masterful Parry. While you are wielding a melee Wuxia Weapon and a creature you can see hits you with a melee attack, you can use a reaction to add your Wisdom modifier (minimum of +1) to your Armor Class against that attack.
Ki-Infused Weapons
6th-level Monk (Way of the Wuxia) Feature
Your training allows you to instinctively channel your Ki through your weapons, granting you the benefits below:
Your Wuxia Weapons count as magical for overcoming resistance and immunities to non-magical attacks.
Once per turn when you hit with a Wuxia Weapon attack, you can spend 1 Ki Point to deal additional damage equal to one roll of your Martial Arts die.
When you use Flurry of Blows, you can replace your unarmed strikes with melee Wuxia Weapon attacks.
Spirit Blade
10th-level Monk (Way of the Wuxia) Feature
You can imbue your signature weapons with deadly Ki. As a bonus action, you can touch one of your Wuxia Weapons and infuse it with 1 to 3 Ki Points to increase its critical hit range by an amount equal to the number of Ki Points expended.
For example, if you infused a normal weapon with 3 Ki, its attacks would score a critical hit on a roll of 17-20 on the d20.
This bonus is only usable by you and it lasts for 1 minute. It ends early if you imbue your Ki into another weapon.
Master of Steel
17th-level Monk (Way of the Wuxia) Feature
You are an unquestioned master of your signature weapons. When you make an attack roll with a Wuxia weapon, you can choose to use your Monk level in place of rolling the d20.
If using your Monk level would result in a critical hit for that attack roll, then the attack becomes a critical hit.
Once you use this feature you must finish a short or long rest before you can use it again.
