# Way of the Fire Sage

Smoke rising from the mountain signals almost infinite  
power lightly sleeping just below the surface of the  
world. Bystanders know that the smoke can never be  
extinguished, the flames in its foundations saw the  
emerging of the mountains, the first rain drops, and  
the rise and fall of empires. The everlasting flame is  
protected by the monks of an ancient tradition, the fire  
sages. They believe that the first flame lives inside every  
soul, and humankind must continue to kindle the light.  
Their devotion to fire and understanding of energy  
fuels them as they travel down their paths: either to  
light an everlasting flame in the souls of others or  
to harness the power of their own inner flame. With  
their power, they can rekindle lost hopes, bring back  
the ashes of laments, cauterize deep wounds in the  
flesh or soul, and guide others out of the darkness.  
Level 3: Cleansing Fire: When you choose this way  
at 3rd level, you gain access to following abilities:  
D By spending two Ki points, you can cast either  
of these spells: burning hands and flame blade.  
D You learn the produce flame cantrip.  
D You have the ability to sear wounds. By spending  
a Ki point and using your action, you can summon  
fire into your palm and touch an open wound,  
healing the creature equal to your martial arts  
die + Wisdom modifier.  
D While you hit your opponents with your flurry  
of blows, you deal an extra 1d4 fire damage on  
each attack that is granted to you by the flurry  
of blows.  
You use Wisdom as your spellcasting ability  
for any spell or cantrip that is mentioned  
here and below.  
Level 6: Rekindle the Flame: When you  
reach 6th level you become able to  
see and understand the fire inside a  
body. Using that power, you are able  
to kindle a flame in somebody's heart  
that would have otherwise sputtered out.  
You can spend 1 Ki point with your bonus action by  
21  
Subclass Options  
touching a fallen creature that is rolling death  
saving throws or unconscious; it regains 1  
hit point and can use its reaction to get up.  
By spending 1 Ki point as an action,  
touching a dead creature that has been  
dead for no more than 1 minute restores  
it to life with 1 hit point. This works in the  
same way as a revivify spell. However, it isn’t  
without a cost. When the creature is restored  
to life, you roll 1d4 and reduce it from your hit  
point maximum. This feature lets you share  
your inner flame with the extinguished ones.  
In addition, you can sense Ki in other creatures,  
thus gaining advantage on Medicine checks, and you  
feel their medical conditions through their ki and  
inner flame.  
Level 11: Catching Fire: By using your abilities to  
deal fire damage to your opponents, you can force  
them to make a Constitution saving throw against  
your Ki save DC. On a failed save, they catch fire and  
repeat the saving throw at the start of each of their  
turns. On a failed save, they take 2d6 fire damage that  
cannot be reduced in any way (except immunity). If  
they succeed on a saving throw, a minute passes or  
they or another creature uses an action to put the  
flames out, this effect ends.  
You can affect a number of creatures equal to your  
proficiency bonus and regain expended uses after  
you finish a long rest. You can affect more than 1  
creature at once if you have enough uses and use an  
appropriate way–for example, a burning hands spell.  
Level 17: Burn Them All: By spending 3 ki points you  
can strike down a creature with your ultimate blaze.  
On a hit with an unarmed strike, you can force them  
to make a Constitution saving throw against your  
Ki save DC. On a failed save, the creature’s internal  
organs start to burn. Unless greater restoration or  
a more powerful spell is used, the target’s hit point  
maximum is reduced by an amount equal to 2d6 +  
your Wisdom modifier each dawn. On a success, the  
target takes 12d8 fire damage.
