Sand Glide. The monk has a flight speed of 20 ft. as sands swirl to carry it. This benefit works only in short bursts; the monk falls at the end of its turn if it is in the air and nothing else is holding it aloft.

Unarmored Defense. While the monk is wearing no armor and wielding no shield, its AC incluces its Wisdom modifier.

Actions

Multiattack. The monk makes three attacks with its quarterstaff. It can also use Manipulate Sands once, either before or after one of the attacks.

Quarterstaff. Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5ft., one target. Hit: 7 (1d8 + 3) bludgeoning damage.

Manipulate Sands. The monk sends a stream of sand at a target within 30 ft. The target must make a DC 13 Dexterity saving throw, taking 15 (6d4) bludgeoning damage and becoming blinded until the end of their next turn on a fail, or half as much damage and are not blinded on a success.

Reactions

Dancing Winds (2/Day). When the monk is targeted by a ranged spell attack with no other targets, it can quickly kick up a spiral of wind that alters its trajectory away from the monk. The monk takes no damage from this attack. As part of the same reaction, the monk makes a ranged spell attack against another creature within 60 ft. with a +5 bonus to the attack roll. On a hit, the spell strikes the new target instead.
