A hit with such an attack deals fire damage instead of bludgeoning damage, and if you spend 1 ki point when the attack hits, it also deals an extra 1d10 fire damage.įirst of all, Monks and Reach tend to not mix, so that’s actually not all bad, right? You can safely engage enemies that otherwise damage melee attackers, help with crowded-hallway scenarios, and become a threat from farther away. Your reach with your unarmed strikes increases by 10 feet for that action, as well as the rest of the turn. When you use the Attack action on your turn, you can spend 1 ki point to cause tendrils of flame to stretch out from your fists and feet. Here’s where things get spicy! Pardon the pun. And most GMs let you replace it later on with other options. It doesn’t get in the way, nor does it cost any Ki. You will be taking this, so if your GM lets you creatively use this to distract or help people, then you’ll be happy.

Thank goodness it doesn’t specify that you must replace disciplines with ones of the same level! Elemental AttunementĬonsidering this is a completely free ability, there’s not much to say about it. They don’t scale well with Ki, certainly not compared to replacing them with disciplines you’ll learn later. You won’t want these for very long after level 1. Your level 1 options are, to put it bluntly, subpar. Just something to keep in mind as you spend Ki. For every ki point above the base level spell cost, you gain 1 more spell level. The other thing that you get is a limit on the amount of Ki you can use the heighten spells. That’s… Really good, if you’ve ever played a spellcaster in this system. That means the only thing this ability scales in is options and utility. One, this ability scales, but it’s all you get. Whenever you learn a new elemental discipline, you can also replace one elemental discipline that you already know with a different discipline. You learn one additional elemental discipline of your choice at 6th, 11th, and 17th level. You know the Elemental Attunement discipline and one other elemental discipline of your choice.
This is the only ability that this Archetype gets. The problem then becomes… Why spend Ki on spells instead of Flurry of Blows? The only way to know is to see the options for ourselves. There are so many more options to spend Ki on that you can really express yourself in a way Martials normally can’t. The Four Elements monk offers something the Sun Soul doesn’t customizability.
