Golisopod practises two techniques at the temple monastery. With his arms extended, he can reach opponents from a step away and surprise them with his long claw blades. He engages in close-quarters battle with his other two arms to knock out adversaries.

Finished this character piece finally! Based on lyrics from Japanese Breakfast's song Paprika. It depicts Kumiko, a half-dragon demigod, overlooking her temple with her father Amane-Ryu guiding her!

Been updating some character profiles in preparation for Art Fight recently. Starting with my Stingy boi✨

I've still yet to work up to drawing actual fights so I'm practicing my blood splatters first.

Warrior of the Ascendent Dragon (Formerly Way of the Ascendent Dragon) (2024) (Homebrew)

This is my own take on Way of the Ascendent Dragon using the 2024 rules for Monk. This post will be deleted if this subclass gets updated to 2024 rules. Changes are described at the end.

From: Fizban's Treasury of Dragons

The fundamental teaching of this tradition holds that by emulating dragons, a monk becomes a more integrated part of the world and its magic. By altering their spirit to resonate with draconic might, monks who follow this tradition augment their prowess in battle, bolster their allies, and can even soar through the air on draconic wings. But all this power is in service of a greater goal: achieving a spiritual unity with the essence of the Material Plane.

As a follower of this Monastic Tradition, you decide how you unlocked the power of dragons through your focus. The Ascendant Dragon Origin table offers some possibilities.

Roll a d6

1: You honed your abilities by observing a dragon and aligning your ki with their world altering power.

2: A dragon personally took an active role in shaping your inner energy.

3: You studied at a monastery that traces its teachings back centuries or more to a single dragon’s instruction.

4: You spent long stretches meditating in the region of influence of an ancient dragon’s lair, absorbing its ambient magic.

5: You found a scroll written in Draconic (Chinese) that contained inspiring new techniques.

6: After a dream that featured a five-handed dragonborn you awoke with altered ki, reflecting the breaths of dragons.

Level 3 Draconic Disciple: You can channel draconic power to magnify your presence and imbue your unarmed strikes with the essence of a dragon’s breath. You gain the following benefits:

Draconic Presence. If you fail an Intimidation or Persuasion check, you can use your Reaction to reroll the check and add a roll of your Martial Arts die to the result, as you tap into the mighty presence of dragons. Once this feature turns a failure into a success, you can’t use it again until you finish a Short or Long Rest.

Draconic Strike. When you make an Unarmed Strike, you can change the damage type to Acid, Cold, Fire, Lightning, or Poison.

Tongue of Dragons. You learn to speak, read, and write Draconic (Chinese) or one other language of your choice.

Level 3 Breath of the Dragon: You can channel destructive waves of energy, like those created by the dragons. When you make a melee attack or Unarmed Strike, you can replace one of the attacks with an exhalation of draconic energy in either a 20-foot Cone or a 30-foot Line that is 5 feet wide (your choice). Choose a damage type: Acid, Cold, Fire, Lightning, or Poison. Each creature in that area must make a Dexterity save against your Focus save DC, taking damage of the chosen type equal to two rolls of your Martial Arts plus your Wisdom modifier die on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. At level 11, the damage of this feature increases to three rolls of your Martial Arts die.

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a Long Rest. Alternatively, you can spend 2 Focus Points to use this feature without expending a use of it.

Level 6 Wings Unfurled: When you use Step of the Wind, you can unfurl spectral draconic wings from your back that vanish at the end of your turn. While the wings exist, you have a Fly Speed equal to your Speed.

Level 11 Aspect of the Wyrm: The power of your draconic spirit now radiates from you, warding your allies or inspiring fear in your enemies. As a Bonus Action, you can create an Emanation of draconic power that radiates 10 feet from you for 1 minute. For the duration, you gain one of the following effects of your choice:

Frightful Presence. When you create the Emanation and as a Bonus Action on subsequent turns, you can choose a creature within the Emanation. The target must succeed on a Wisdom save against your Focus save DC or have the Frightened condition for 1 minute. The target can repeat its saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a successful save.

Resistance. Choose a damage type when you activate the Emanation: Acid, Cold, Fire, Lightning, or Poison. You and your allies within the Emanation have Resistance to that damage type.

Once you create the Emanation, you can’t create it again until you finish a Long Rest, unless you expend 3 Focus Points to create it again.

Level 17 Ascendent Aspect: Your draconic spirit reaches its peak. You gain the following benefits:

Augment Breath. When you use Breath of the Dragon, you can spend 1 Focus Point to augment its shape and power. The exhalation of draconic energy becomes either a 60-foot Cone or a 90-foot Line that is 5 feet wide (your choice), and each creature in that area takes damage equal to four rolls of your Martial Arts die on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

Blindsight. You have Blindsight with a range of 30 feet. 

Explosive Fury. When you activate Aspect of the Wyrm, draconic fury explodes from you. Choose any number of creatures you can see in your Emanation. Each of those creatures must succeed on a Dexterity save against your Focus save DC or take 3d10 Acid, Cold, Fire, Lightning, or Poison damage (your choice).

Changes:

Draconic Presence is now regained on a Short Rest and you can add your Martial Arts die to the reroll.

Breath of the Dragon is now usable on any attack, not just the Attack action. It is also not restricted to your turn anymore, so you can make the breath attack as an opportunity attack.

Wings Unfurled is now permanently usable.

All features that had a number of uses equal to your Proficiency Bonus are now equal to your Wisdom modifier.

All features that were reusable through Ki points, can now always be used using Focus Points regardless of whether you have any uses left.

The Blindsight of Ascendant Aspect is now 30 feet.
