Dennis’ Ki

This is a list of Dennis’ Ki related abilities. It does not include Monk abilities that use no ki, except that Shadow Step is included because that’s homebrew to Dennis.

Dennis is currently 11th level, and primarily uses the OneDND rules for Monks. However, he continues to refer to his abilities as Ki based, instead of Discipline based as the OneDND rules refer to it.

He gets one Ki point per level, so Dennis currently has 11 Ki points, which refresh on a short rest.

In addition, you can use Hand of Harm without spending the ki points for Hand of Harm. You can still only use Hand of Harm once per turn.

Ethan Homebrew

Shadow Step

At level 9, Monks normally gain the feature Acrobatic Movement. This would be useless for Dennis as his Fairy and Dhampir abilities already provide him with those abilities. Ethan allowed me to replace that ability with the 6th level ability from the Monk Path of Shadows, Shadow Step.

In dim light or darkness, as a bonus action you can teleport up to 60 feet to an unoccupied space you can see that is also in dim light or darkness. You have advantage on the first melee attack you make before the end of your turn.

Astral Cord Whip

Ethan granted Dennis this homebrew ability after the party massacred an Astral Dreadnaught. See here for details.
