    Ok so before giving it a more thorough look I am going to start with the things that immediately stand out:

    Saving Throws: Every class can choose one from (Wisdom, Dexterity, Constitution) and one from (Int, Cha, Str) you cant choose 2 from one group. The designers were very careful about this.


    Unworldly Movement: This has big problems. The prof to ac on top of potentially 20 base ac at higher levels is game breaking in 5e. %e uses bounded accuracy which means it never lets things like ac get that much better from where they started. Dodge as a bonus action every turn is also op. The only one who gets this is monk and he has to spend a very limited pool of resources on it and use a very precious bonus action(monks uses bonus action + flurry in order to compete in damage).

    Overall there is only a few things that set this apart from the monk. My gut reaction is to try to make it a monk archetype first, and if that doesn't fulfill your vision of the class then attempt a new base class.

    Two Strong saves. Why?

    Whip Lasher-how do you determine the save?

    Unworldly Movement is OP as all hell. Like, seriously, it's totally broken. To the point where I'm not going to look at the rest of the class until it gets fixed, because even if the rest of the class is poop, this is a MANDATORY two level dip for anyone who wants to git gud.
    I have a LOT of Homebrew!
