Would a dragon tattoo wearer instantly die, in a brilliant explosion of blood and bone, if they accidentally stepped on an ant hill?

No, because it is 10d10, no matter how far you go over your max Ki. Maybe if he is a low level.

EDIT:How does auto correct get Ton out of no?

So just 10d10 every round for a few hours until death then? Since most monks can't really bleed off that much ki fast enough.

Also, -1 point for having that signature and responding in such a way.

Building on this, what if a Monk spits fire down into an anthill? That is millions of Ki. Now punch the ground with the Fist of Unbroken Air. Game over, the universe is vaporized. Did I just build pun pun?

I should note, I am not at all trying to badmouth the Dragon tattoo, just theory crafting. I would never do this, because it wouldn't be fun.

Yeah, in most interactions my sig describes me perfectly. I found that forums bring out the best in me, the most friendly and unbiased person within my subconscious. I need to change my signature...

Given the DM control of 5E, it seems unlikely that a DM would do more than roll their eyes at killing a swarm and claiming that each member of the swarm counts as one.

Nothing is a single entity. Everything in the universe is a single being. From the ant, to the human, to the Dragon. The grain of sand to the mighty mountain. We are all One.

Then every second a monk lives they gain Ki from killing their own skin cells. Surviving the Dragon Tattoo becomes impossible permanently. No matter how much Ki gets burned off, there's always more.

Creature is not a philosophical term. It's a game term for people who play games. Treating it as anything else gets you silly answers.

I wasn't being philosophical, I was making a joke about how a Monk would consider the idea of an entity.

Monks aren't good at game design.
