Warrior of Mercy Features
Hand of Harm
Level 3You use your martial arts to inflict wounds. Once per turn, you can deal extra damage to one creature you hit with a weapon attack using your Martial Arts, or with an Unarmed Strike. The extra damage equals one roll of your Martial Arts die. This damage is the same type as the weapon or Unarmed Strike.
Hand of Healing
Level 3Your mystical touch can mend wounds. Once per turn, you can heal one creature you touch, restoring hit points equal to one roll of your Martial Arts die. You can do so only if you have Focus Points remaining.
Implements of Mercy
Level 3You gain proficiency with the Medicine skill. If you're already proficient in it, you add double your Proficiency Bonus to checks you make with it. When a creature you can see makes a saving throw, you can use your Reaction and spend 1 Focus Point to increase the saving throw by a number equal to one roll of your Martial Arts die.
Physician's Touch
Level 6When you take a Short Rest, you can restore hit points to yourself or to a friendly creature you can see during the rest. The amount is equal to the creature's maximum hit points minus its current hit points. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum of one use). You regain all expended uses when you finish a Long Rest.
Flurry of Healing and Harm
Level 11You can use your Flurry of Blows to heal or harm. When you use Flurry of Blows, you can replace each Unarmed Strike with an effect that deals no damage: You can restore a number of hit points to a creature equal to one roll of your Martial Arts die + your Wisdom modifier. You can inflict damage on a creature equal to one roll of your Martial Arts die + your Wisdom modifier.
Hand of Ultimate Mercy
Level 17When you would normally roll one or more Martial Arts dice as part of a feature that restores hit points or deals damage, you can instead use the highest number possible for each die. For example, if a Martial Arts die is a d8, you treat each die as if it rolled an 8.
