You have studied at a monastery devoted to dragonkind. Warriors trained in these places adapt their fighting styles to match the dragons they hold in such esteem. They are respected and feared by students of other traditions. Once they are trained, followers of this Way travel far and wide, rarely settling in one place for long.

Monk Level Features
3rd Draconic Affiliation, Draconic Onslaught
7th Take Flight
11th Conquering Wyrm
15th Scales of the Wyrm

Draconic Affiliation 

3rd-Level Dragon Feature 

You feel an affinity for one type of dragon, which you choose from the Draconic Affiliation table. You model your fighting style to match that type of dragon, and some of the features you gain from following this Way depend upon the affiliation you chose. 

Draconic Affiliation
Dragon Associated Skill Damage Type
Black or Copper Stealth Acid
Blue or Bronze Insight Lightning
Brass, Gold, or Red Intimidation Fire
Green Deception Poison
Silver or White History Cold
Yellow Nature Radiant

When you make your selection, you gain proficiency in the dragons associated skill, and you gain resistance to the listed damage type. If you already have this skill proficiency, you double your proficiency bonus with that skill. 

Draconic Onslaught 

3rd-Level Dragon Feature 

When you use Step of the Wind then hit with an attack, the attack deals an extra 2d6 damage of the type associated with your Draconic Affiliation. 

Take Flight 

7th-Level Dragon Feature 

When you take the Dash action, you can spend 1 technique point to gain a flying speed equal to your walking speed until the end of your turn. While you are flying, a creature that hits you with an opportunity attack takes 2d6 damage of the type associated with your Draconic Affiliation. 

Conquering Wyrm 

11th-Level Dragon Feature 

When you take the Attack action after using Step of the Wind in the same turn, you can spend an extra 2 technique points to replace your first attack with one unarmed strike against each creature within 5 feet of the space in which you end your movement. On a hit, your unarmed strike deals an extra 4d6 of the type associated with your Draconic Affiliation. You cant use this feature and your Draconic Onslaught feature in the same round. 

Scales of the Wyrm 

15th-Level Dragon Feature 

You can harden yourself against harm like the eldest of dragons. On your turn, you can spend 4 technique points to increase your Armor Class by 2, gain temporary hit points equal to your monk level, and gain immunity to the frightened condition for 10 minutes. For the duration, when you take damage of the type associated with your Draconic Affiliation, you can use your reaction to reduce the damage you take from that source to 0.
