Maybe I can offer some useful edits, and ideas. First edit your font color in your original post. It's very hard to read, and this will hopefully get you more feedback. I like your character concept, and I think it has some advantages not explored currently by D&D5e, so well done. Here are some changes to consider.1) White Crane Spreads it Wings. I can't believe I'm typing this because I LOVE using grapple, but "The target must succeed on its choice of a Strength (Athletics) or Dexterity (Acrobatics) check or it becomes grappled by you, as if you used the Grapple special attack on it." This third choice really complicates this ability. What if the players has chosen the Grappler feat. Can he now pin the opponent? What if the opponent is 2 categories sizes larger?Adding advantage at third level is over powered."And Victory Will Be Assured - Starting at 11th level, you can use your action to provoke creatures hostile to you if they are within 30 feet of you and can see or hear you. An affected target must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw, using your ki saving throw DC, or it has disadvantage on attack rolls against creatures other than you until your next turn." Provoke it to do what? If it's already hostile then it's already provoked. This ability needs to be triggered or used by some other catalyst or action. It doesn't make sense. You stating the ki Wisdom saving throw, but what if the monk doesn't have any ki left? Why isn't the monk using a ki point then?Know yourself, Know Your Enemy... this is underpowered for a (assuming 11th level?) 11 level ability. The cleric can use at 6th level as an action, Channel Divinity, read thoughts. I like you don't need patient defense, but (I've played similar abilities) it does get old doing the defensive role (not roll) at the start of almost every combat. Vengeful Wave"On a successful save, the target takes half as much damage and is otherwise unaffected. " Are they still prone on a save? It needs to be stated. I hope the suggestions help, and I look forward to your reply.</blockquote>
