Whenever you hit a creature with one of the attacks granted by your Flurry of Blows, you deal additional damage equal to your Martial Arts die plus your proficiency bonus. Additionally, whenever you deal Bludgeoning damage, you may elect to deal force damage instead.Ki Smite:When you choose this tradition at 3rd level, you learn magical spells that harness the power of the your ki to deliver devastating blows. A spell requires you to spend ki points each time you use it.  You may use these spells with your unarmed strikes even if the spell description would not allow it, and they can be cast as a reaction when you declare an attack using your unarmed strike.  You know either the Thunderous Smite or Wrathful Smite spell. You learn one additional spell of your choice at 6th, 11th, and 17th level from the list below if the spell has a prerequisite class level listed that you meet.  Whenever you learn a new elemental spell, you can also replace one spell that you already know with a different spell so long as you meet the requirements.3rd level (2 ki cost): Thunderous Smite, Wrathful Smite6th level (3 ki cost): Branding Smite, Divine Favor11th level (4 ki cost): Blinding Smite, Crusader's Mantle, Spirit Shroud17th level (5 ki cost): Staggering Smite, Banishing Smite, Steel Wind StrikeBody VoidAt 6th level, you gain the ability to transition the damage of your body to another.  As an action, you may make an unarmed strike against a creature.  If the attack hits, in addition to your unarmed strike damage, you deal an additional amount of necrotic damage equal to two times your monk level.  You heal half the amount of damage dealt by your attack (including the unarmed strike damage, the necrotic damage, and any other bonus damage).  You must finish a long rest before you can use this feature again.Lightning FuryBeginning at 11th level, you can enter a special meditation that surrounds you with the temperament of lightning. At the end of a long rest, you gain the effect of a haste spell that lasts until the start of your next long rest.  Not that this spell will end early if your concentration breaks, and the normal penalties for ending a haste spell applies.  (Design note - yes, the spells of the class are almost all concentration based - the tension between this ability and using the ki spells is intentional).Fist of Ultimate ThunderAt 17th level, you gain the ability to set up incredibly power vibrations in your body.  As an action you can spend 9 ki points to start these very obvious vibrations, which last for a number of minutes equal to your monk level.  While vibrating, you gain the benefits of the levitation spell. The vibrations deal 2d12 thunder damage to any creature or unattended object within 5 feet of you at the start of your turn.  You may use an action to make an unarmed strike and release the power of these vibrations.  When you do so, a blast of thunder erupt from your hand.  Each creature and unattended object in a cone of up to 300-ft (you decide the depth of the cone) must make a Constitution saving throw.  A creature or unattended object in the cone takes 16d12 thunder damage on a failed save, or half as much on a successful one.  A creature killed or object destroyed by this attack is utterly destroyed, reduced to a pile of gore or coarse dust as appropriate.</blockquote>
