Workshop Week 20 — Meet the Fists of the Guiding Star! (Patreon)

Hey heroes!

Here's the (belated) first look at the Fists of the Guiding Star! This item can change between now and when it's posted here to the Patreon! Thanks for coming out this last week, heroes! See you again on Monday!

Fists of the Guiding Star
Wondrous item, uncommon (requires attunement by a monk)

Stars and celestial bodies glimmer through these hand wrappings. While wearing these wraps over your hands, you can use a bonus action to spend 1 ki point to give a creature you can see within 30 feet of you advantage on the next attack roll it makes before the end of your next turn. When you do, small, star-like points of light seem to guide the creature's movements and empower its next attack with ki. If the creature's next attack hits, that attack deals extra radiant damage equal to your Martial Arts die + your Wisdom modifier (minimum of 1).

In addition, you can use an action to cast the light spell while wearing these wraps.

When the stars align, we all prevail.

Let's take a moment to breathe in...breathe out...and meditate to focus our Ki. These are just ideas, and their finer mechanics can be revised during the livestream and during the balancing process.

I'll be updating this post just before 7:30pm EST tonight with the exclusive YouTube link to the stream. You should get an email alerting you to the change!

Ideas

Tension Needles— A pouch of 6 needles that can be used to grant temporary hit points to your allies or weaken the strikes of your enemies. The needles regain their magic at dawn if they're within the pouch.

Serpent Sash — A loose green sash that can be mentally commanded using Ki to briefly become a snake and lash out to strike a creature within 10 feet of you, dealing piercing and poison damage if it hits. You can also communicate with snakes while attuned to it.

Fists of the Guiding Star — A set of wispy, celestial wraps that allow you to help guide the strikes of an ally within range. You can spend Ki to give an ally advantage on their next attack, and if they hit, they deal extra damage equal to your Wisdom modifier and Martial Arts die.

Be sure to cast your vote! See you tonight!
