Way of the Four Elements

Way of the Four Elements is one of the subclasses of monk. These monks are more specialized in using their Ki to channel the elements to influence the battlefield. Rather than focusing on physical techniques that the other Monk subclasses focus on, Way of the Four Elements focuses on abilities that mimic Wizard spells, turning monks into a hybrid spellcaster.

“

You focus your ki to bend the elements to your will, using them as an extension of your own body.
