I decided to make a new type of monk subclass based around the theme of gaining abilities that are similar to ones animals have. I had this idea from animal style kung fu and decided to make it based around the themes of gaining abilities like a animal would and being able to adapt to a large amount of areas like animals can. You also may or may not notice that I have taken inspiration from the order of immortal mystic
Bestial Adaptations
starting at level 3, your body morphs into one that is like that of a animal. You gain a bite unarmed attack which deals your martial arts damage die + your dexterity modifier piercing damage and your maximum HP increases by 1 per level. Whenever you finish a short rest you can also choose to focus on one of the following traits
Aquatic - while focused on this you gain the ability to breathe air and water and you gain a swimming speed equal to your walking speed
Mountainous - while focused on this you gain a climbing speed equal to your walking speed and being at high altitudes doesn’t effect you
Underdark - while focused on this you gain a dark vision of 120 feet
Forest - while focused on this if you are in a forest you regain 1 hp every kilometre you travel
Swamp - while focused on this your unarmed strikes deal poison damage and deal a extra 1 point of poison damage
Arctic - while focused on this you gain a resistance to cold damage and cold temperatures don’t affect you
