Rock Solid
When you choose this tradition at 3rd level, you become
proficient in the Athletics skill if you are not already.
The nature of your Unarmored Defense changes.
While wearing no armor and not wielding a shield, your
AC equals 10 + your Constitution modifier + your
Wisdom modifier.
Additionally, you learn the mold earth XGE and blade
ward cantrips if you don't already know them. You can
spend 1 ki point to cast either cantrip using your bonus
action on your turn.
A Rock Feels No Pain
Also at 3rd level, you can use your ki to duplicate the
effects of certain spells by spending 2 ki points. To cast
one of these spells, you use its casting time and other
rules, but you don't need to provide material components
for it.
Once you reach 5th level in this class, you can spend
additional ki points to increase the level of a Rolling
Stone spell that you cast. The spell's level increases by 1
for each additional ki point you spend. For example, if
you are a 5th level monk and use cast catapult XGE, you
can spend 3 ki points to cast it as a 2nd-level spell (the
spell’s base cost of 2 ki points plus 1).
The maximum number of ki points you can spend to
cast a spell in this way (including its base ki point cost
and any additional ki points you spend to increase its
level) is determined by your monk level, as shown in the
Rolling Stone Spells and Ki Points table.

Stillness of Stone
At 6th level, if you move 0 feet on your turn and aren’t
incapacitated, grappled or restrained, you gain a
tremorsense to a distance in feet equal to 5 × your
Wisdom modifier, temporary hit points equal to your
Wisdom modifier, and you have resistance to fire and
cold damage until the start of your next turn.
Weight of the Earth
At 11th level, you gain the following benefits:
- You become proficient in Constitution saving throws.
- If you are moved against your will, you can use your reaction to reduce the amount by half.
- You can spend 1 ki to gain advantage on Strength saving throws and Strength (Athletics) checks you make.
Strength of the Mountain
Starting at 17th level, when you hit a creature with an
unarmed strike, you can spend 1-10 ki points. The target
must make a Strength saving throw. If it fails, it takes
2d8 bludgeoning damage per ki point spent and is
pushed 5 feet per kit point spent, or half as much
damage on a successful one and is not pushed.
