y The first unarmed strike of your Flurry of Blows that

hits a creature becomes a Serpent Strike: a creature hit

by a Serpent Strike takes extra poison damage equal to
your Wisdom modifier (minimum of 1) and must make a
Constitution saving throw against your ki save DC. On a
failed save, the creature is poisoned until the start of your
next turn. At 17th level, this extra poison damage increas-
es to 1d10 + your Wisdom modifier.
y Moving while prone doesn’t cost you extra movement,
and standing up from prone uses only 5 feet of your
movement.
y When a missile that you can see comes within 10 feet of
you, you can use your Deflect Missiles reaction to move
up to 10 feet to intercept it, provided your speed isn’t
0; this movement doesn’t provoke opportunity attacks.
When you do, the damage taken by the missile’s target is
reduced by 1d10 + your Dexterity modifier + your monk
level. If you reduce the damage to 0, you can catch the
missile as normal.

SHED SKIN
By 6th level, you can escape all manner of illnesses and bind-
ings. At the start of your turn, if you’re blinded, deafened,
grappled, paralyzed, poisoned, or restrained, roll a d6. On a
6, those conditions end on you. The minimum number you
need to roll on the d6 to end those conditions is reduced
when you reach certain levels in this class: 11th level (5 or 6)
and 17th level (4, 5, or 6).
In addition, if a creature hits you with an opportunity
attack, you can use your reaction to cause the attack to miss.
You can’t do so again until you finish a short or long rest.
