Iron Body Skill [Monastic Tradition]

3 :- Iron Body Skill
The technique the school is named after, the Iron Body Skill allows a practitioner to simply ignore the frailty of their own flesh. You have Advantage on Constitution saving throws while Dodging. In addition, your Monk hit-dice are d12s.

3 :- Iron Splinters Steel
While the primary focus of Iron Body Skill is providing an invincible defense, it does have a number of offensive techniques that leverage its practitioners' unbreakable skin. You gain the following ki techniques:

Brushing Aside Sticks: Whenever you attempt to disarm a creature with one of your unarmed strikes, you may spend 1 ki to give yourself advantage on your attack roll, and to give your target disadvantage on its ability check. If you successfully disarm a non-magical weapon this way, you may destroy it.
Iron Fells Wood: Whenever you shove a creature, you may spend 1 ki to choose both options.
Snapping Feeble Twigs: Whenever you hit a creature with an unarmed strike, you may spend 1 ki to reduce that creature's speed by 10ft until the beginning of your next turn.


6 :- Resounding Iron Chimes
An Iron Body Skill practitioner is mightiest when forced to respond to attacks — just like iron is tempered into steel, they are strengthened by your opponents' feeble attempts to harm them. Any unarmed strike you make as part of a reaction deals additional damage equal to your martial arts die. In addition, if a creature makes a melee attack against you while you are Dodging, you may use your reaction to make a melee weapon attack against that creature.

11 :- Iron Denies Rust
Most believe that iron rusts — what an Iron Body Skill practitioner learns is that rust takes root due to impurities within the metal... impurities that they will not allow to form! You have Resistance to Bludgeoning, Piercing, and Slashing damage while Dodging.

11 :- Iron Statue Stance
One of the hardest teachings of the Iron Body Skill is that a practitioner should not fear being hit. After all, does an iron wall try to dance out of the way of an incoming blow? When you Dodge, you do not lose the benefits prematurely if your speed is reduced to 0 or you are Incapacitated.

17 :- Iron Heart Disdain
The secret final technique of the Iron Body Skill takes its focus on defense to the ultimate conclusion. Whenever you become the target of an attack, spell, or effect, you may spend 4 ki as a reaction to simply ignore it. You take no damage and suffer no negative effects, regardless of how potent it might be.
