Way of the Enduring Stone
The dwarves of the Broken Mountain monastery based their style on the power of the very stone that was used to create their homes and that their brethren mined for resources. Instead of fighting the stone they chose to become one with it and infuse their bodies with the essence that lay within the element of Earth. This tradition is practiced primarily by Dwarves, Goliaths, and Earth Genasi - although in theory anyone may earn a place at the monastery and learn the style.
Monks who follow this tradition are also called Stone Wardens.
Stone’s Hardness
Starting when you choose this path at 3rd level, and when wearing no armor and not wielding a shield, your AC equals 10 + your Constitution Modifier + your Wisdom Modifier.
Stone’s Might
At 3rd level, your attacks have become infused with the might of the Earth. Your unarmed attacks and attacks with monk weapons may use your Con modifier to calculate your attack and damage bonus (instead of Str or Dex).
The War Pick and War Hammer are now considered monk weapons for you, and you are proficient with them.
Elemental Attunement (Earth) - you can use your action to briefly control the element of Earth, causing one of the following effects of your choice:
Stone’s Resilience
At 6th level you have learned to infuse your body with the resilience of Earth. As a bonus action you may spend 2 ki points and gain DR vs. Bludgeoning, Piercing, and Slashing damage equal to your Con modifier. This lasts for 1 minute.
Mountain Stance
At 11th level you have learned to harden your skin and body until it is strong as stone. You can spend 4 Ki points to cast Stoneskin, targeting yourself.
Call the Mountain
At 17th level you can spend 5 ki points to cast Wall of Stone
