They can strike like the wind, step into the sky, or even sunder stone. Though they most often treat their mastery of the weapons as an art, seeking spiritual understanding through martial perfection, turning this art to more practical ends can result in very deadly encounters for their foes.  \nMystical Techniques  \nWhen you choose this tradition at 3rd level, you learn Mystical Techniques that allow you to unleash supernatural feats with your weapons. You learn three techniques of your choice, which are detailed in the \"Mystical Techniques\"section below. You learn two additional techniques of your choice at 6th, 11th, and 17th level.  \nMystical Techniques can only be performed with unarmed strikes or monk weapons. If a Mystical Technique uses a DC, it uses your Ki Save DC.  \nWhenever you gain a new level in this class, you can replace one Mystical Technique you already know with a different technique.  \nYou can spend a number of ki points on Mystical Techniques equal to your proficiency bonus, after which you cannot spend more ki on Mystical Techniques until the start of your next turn.  \nWeapon Mastery  \nAdditionally at 3rd level, you can choose to master a weapon that would not normally be a monk weapon. Choose a simple or martial melee weapon that lacks the heavy and special properties. You gain proficiency in the weapon, and it becomes a monk weapon for you. You can choose another weapon in this way at 6th, 11th, and 17th level.  \nPerfect State  \nAt 6th level, your weapon becomes an extension of yourself, flowing naturally with your abilities.  \nEmpowered Weapons. Your attacks with your Monk Weapons count as magical for the purpose of overcoming resistance and immunity to nonmagical attacks and damage.  \nBlade Flurry. When you make a Flurry of Blows, you can make the additional attacks with your Monk Weapon.  \nEmpowered Techniques  \nStarting at 11th level, at the start of your turn, you gain 1 free ki point you can spend on a Mystic Technique before the start of your next turn. If it is not spent before the start of your next turn, it is lost.  \nFlawless Form  \nAt 17th level, your mastery of the weapons allows you eliminate any room for error. If you miss with an attack roll using a monk weapon on your turn, you can reroll the attack. You can only do this once on each of your turns.  \nMystic Techniques  \nThe Mystic Techniques are presented in alphabetical order. Ifa technique requires a level, you must be that level in this class to learn the technique.  \nAgile Defense (1 Ki). As a reaction to being attacked, you can attempt to parry the attack, rolling your Martial Arts die and increasing your AC by the value rolled against the attack. If the attack still hits, you reduce the damage taken by the value rolled + your proficiency bonus.  \nCut the Weave (3 Ki) (6th level required). You cast dispel magic with a range of 5 feet. Alternatively, as an attack as part of the attack action, you can attempt to open a 5-foot by 5-foot hole in a magical barrier, lasting until the start of your next turn. Make a weapon attack treating the magical effect as having an AC equal to the spellcaster’s spell DC (your DM determines what magical barriers this might work on).  \nDancing Weapon (1 Ki). As a bonus action, you infuse a monk weapon you are holding with ki causing it to animate with your will. Until the end of your next turn, when you make an attack, you can attack with it as if you were holding it, causing it to fly up to 30 feet before striking a target. It returns to you after any attacks made this way.  \nDeft Attack (1 Ki). When you make an attack roll, you can gain advantage on the attack. If the attack hits, you can add your Martial Arts die to the damage dealt.  \nDimension Slash (4 Ki) (11th level required). You can cast dimension cutterK.  \nDistracting Strike (1 Ki)","cbCaiqW2DwrYeXKa","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiqW2DwrYeXKa","pdf",2809757,"English","# Mystical Techniques\n## Basic rules and Ki spending\n# Weapon Mastery\n## Empowered Weapons and Blade Flurry\n# Perfect State and Flawless Form\n## Empowered Techniques and reroll feature\n# Mystic Techniques (alphabetical list)\n## Agile Defense\n## Cut the Weave\n## Dancing Weapon\n## Deft Attack\n## Dimension Slash\n## Distracting Strike\n## Imparted Force\n## Instant Strike\n## Iron Wind Strike\n## Sever Soul\n## Sharpen the Blade\n## Slashing Spin\n## Skyward Leap","[{\"question\":\"What are Mystical Techniques and when can the monk use them?\",\"answer\":\"Mystical Techniques are learned at 3rd level and can be used by spending Ki points.
