Alessandro (Sandro) the MonkSandro is a young monk from the City of Rallu, he has a love of martial arts and trains for hours with his nunchucks. Whilst he was practicing his martial arts moves in a park close to his home, he was watched by Diana Vex, Founder of the Warriors Training School for Female Fighters, she was very impressed by his style and grace and thought that with the right tutoring, he could develop these skills to become a highly skilled martial arts figher. She contacted Tepon Algor, a high preist of Poseidon and told him about Sandro, whilst training on martial arts. Diana then introduced herself to Sandro and set up a meeting with him and Tepon. Not being the most academic person in Rallu, it had not crossed his mind that his martial arts skills could be used as a career, but once he had spoken to Tepon, his mind was made up and a new journey had started. To start off this journey, Tepon has handed Sandor what appears to be a normal staff and asked him to pass it on to Larsonos, the High Priest of Apollo at the Temple-Tomb of Belaras. Sandro the Monk then sets off from Rallu for the first time, heading in the direction of the Ghinarian Hills, not really knowing what the road ahead will hold.
He comes from a small family, his parents running a successful seafood business in the docks at Rallu market.

___________________
Deflect Missiles
Starting at 3rd level, you can use your reaction to deflect or catch the missile when you are hit by a ranged weapon Attack. When you do so, the damage you take from the Attack is reduced by 1d 10 + your Dexterity modifier + your monk level.
If you reduce the damage to 0, you can catch the missile if it is small enough for you to hold in one hand and you have at least one hand free. If you catch a missile in this way, you can spend 1 ki point to make a ranged Attack (range 20 feet/60 feet) with the weapon or piece of ammunition you just caught, as part of the same reaction. You make this Attack with proficiency, regardless of your weapon proficiencies, and the missile counts as a monk weapon for the Attack.
Open Hand Technique
Starting when you choose this tradition at 3rd level, you can manipulate your enemy’s ki when you harness your own. Whenever you hit a creature with one of the attacks granted by your Flurry of Blows, you can impose one of the following effects on that target:
It must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or be knocked prone.
It must make a Strength saving throw. If it fails, you can push it up to 15 feet away from you.
It can’t take reactions until the end of your next turn.
Slow Fall - Reaction to reduce fall damage by Levelx5 hp.
Monk
As a monk, you gain the following Class Features.
Hit Points at 1st Level: 8 + your Constitution modifier
Hit Points at Higher Levels: 1d8 (or 5) + your Constitution modifier per monk level after 1st
Armor: none
Weapons: simple Weapons, shortswords
Tools: any one type of artisan's tools or any one musical instrument of your choice
Skills: Choose two from Acrobatics, Athletics, History, Insight, Religion, and Stealth
• (a) a Shortsword or (b) any simple weapon
• (a) a Dungeoneer's Pack or (b) an Explorer's Pack
• 10 darts
Alternatively, you may start with 5d4 gp to buy your own Equipment.
You gain the following benefits while you are unarmed or wielding only monk Weaponsand you aren't wearing armor or wielding a Shield.
• You can use Dexterity instead of Strength for the Attack and Damage Rolls of your unarmed strikes and monk Weapons.
• You can roll a d4 in place of the normal damage of your unarmed strike or monk weapon.
• When you use the Attack action with an unarmed strike or a monk weapon on Your Turn, you can make one unarmed strike as a Bonus Action. For example, if you take the Attackaction and Attack with a Quarterstaff, you can also make an unarmed strike as a Bonus Action, assuming you haven't already taken a Bonus Action this turn.
Certain monasteries use specialized forms of the monk Weapons. For example, you might use a club that is two lengths of wood connected by a short chain (called a nunchaku) or a Sickle with a shorter, straighter blade (called a kama). Whatever name you use for a monk weapon, you can use the game Statistics provided for the weapon.
You can spend these points to fuel various ki features. You start knowing three such features: Flurry of Blows, Patient Defense, and Step of the Wind. You learn more ki features as you gain levels in this class.
When you spend a ki point, it is unavailable until you finish a Long Rest, at the end of which you draw all of your expended ki back into yourself. You must spend at least 30 minutes of the rest meditating to regain your ki points.
Some of your ki features require your target to make a saving throw to resist the feature's effects. The saving throw DC is calculated as follows:
At 9th level, you gain the ability to move along vertical surfaces and across liquids on Your Turn without Falling during the move.
If you reduce the damage to 0, you can catch the missile if it is small enough for you to hold in one hand and you have at least one hand free. If you catch a missile in this way, you can spend 1 ki point to make a ranged Attack (range 20 feet/60 feet) with the weapon or piece of ammunition you just caught, as part of the same reaction. You make this Attack with proficiency, regardless of your weapon proficiencies, and the missile counts as a monk weapon for the Attack.
Additionally, whenever you make a saving throw and fail, you can spend 1 ki point to reroll it and take the second result.
Additionally, you can spend 8 ki points to cast the Astral Projection spell, without needing material Components. When you do so, you can't take any other creatures with you.
Most monasteries practice one tradition exclusively, but a few honor the three traditions and instruct each monk according to his or her aptitude and interest. All three traditions rely on the same basic techniques, diverging as the student grows more adept. Thus, a monk need choose a tradition only upon reaching 3rd level.
You can have only one creature under the effect of this feature at a time. You can choose to end the vibrations harmlessly without using an action.
