Warrior of the Hand (One)
| Also see: SRD5:Way of the Open Hand |
Design Note: Warrior of the Hand[edit]
[1] Here are the main updates in this subclass since the the last playtest version:
- Open Hand Technique now has the Addle option to prevent creatures from making Opportunity Attacks and no longer requires a saving throw.
- Wholeness of Body now allows you to regain Hit Points without expending Discipline Points.
- Fleet Step now allows you to take the Step of the Wind option alongside other Bonus Actions.
- Quivering Palm now allows you the option to replace one of your attacks with the action to end the vibrations on the creature. To compensate for this increased flexibility, the cost and damage of the feature has been adjusted.
