Rivet's Astral Wraps
Intended Rarity: Rare
Attunement: (requires attunement by a Monk)
Development Phase: Theoretical
Concept Description
These hand and wrist wraps are crafted from pale-blue astral silk, banded with micro-filament threading and inlaid sigils that flicker with Rivet's signature arc light circuitry. They're laced at the seams with crimson trim, a nod to Gio's monastic roots with the Order of St. Denier, while the shimmering body pulses like a still lake under moonlight.
When worn, the wraps ripple faintly with every movement faint streaks of glowing blue trailing behind punches, blocks, and sidesteps like echoes of intent. They hum with barely contained energy, not loud but present, like breath before a strike. These are no common relics. They are tools of discipline, deception, and divine rebellion, engineered in silence and starlight.
Proposed Features
Astral Impact
Your unarmed strikes deal force damage instead of their normal type.
Ki Blink
When you use Step of the Wind or Flurry of Blows, you may teleport up to 10 feet to an unoccupied space you can see as part of that action.
- You must end your movement in an unoccupied space.
- You do not provoke opportunity attacks from that creature during this movement.
Afterimage Drift
When you activate Patient Defense, you gain a +1 bonus to AC until the start of your next turn.
Additionally, you may immediately move up to 10 feet without provoking opportunity attacks. This movement does not count against your movement for the turn.
Astral Convergence (1/day)
As a bonus action, you may cast Mirror Image on yourself.
- No components are required.
- This version does not require concentration.
- The illusory duplicates mimic your erratic monk style, trailing constellations as they shift and shimmer in astral sync with your movements.
"Unarmed doesn't mean unprepared." - Rivet
