As such they are often taken to more martial oriented monasteries that train more for true battle than many other monks where they seek to become familiar with the use of many weapons used in war. During their training, each monk of the Way of Steel chooses one weapon of war with which to specialize in and learn to make it an extension of their own body.Student of SteelStarting when you choose this tradition at 3rd level, you gain proficiency with martial weapons (except Lance). Choose one martial melee weapon, which becomes a monk weapon for you.     Additionally, when you use the attack action on your turn, you can spend 1 ki point to gain one of the following effects:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Cause your unarmed or monk weapon attacks to score a critical hit on a roll of a 19 or 20.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> Cause your unarmed or monk weapon attacks to deal additional damage equal to your Wisdom modifier.</li> </ul>Lasting BlowsStarting at 6th level, your unarmed strikes land like steel against your enemy's ki chakras. Whenever you hit a creature with one of he attacks granted by your Flurry of Blows, you can impose one of the following effects on that target:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> It must success a Constitution saving throw or be Incapacitated until the end of your next turn.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> Deal 1d4 additional damage and it is distracted with pain. The next attack roll against the target by an attacker other than you has advantage if the attack is made before the start of your next turn.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> It can't take reactions until the end of your next turn.</li> </ul>Student of WarBeginning at 11th level, you can choose one of the options from the Fighter's Fighting Style class feature. Skin of SteelAt 17th level, you gain resistance to bludgeoning, piercing and slashing damage from nonmagical weapons.Thoughts?</blockquote>
