Way of the Hailstorm (5e)

Monks of the Way of the Hailstorm dedicate themselves to mastering the use of ranged weaponry, becoming finely attuned with the intricacies of the mechanisms of their weapons.

Monks of this order have an intimate knowledge of projectiles, being practiced in techniques allowing them to quickly approximate the distance between them and their mark. In becoming more familiar with their tools, monks of this order who train using a crossbow or another mechanized firing device will often customize their tools in order to become more familiar with them and ensure they function to their likings.

Hailstorm Mastery
When you choose this tradition at 3rd level, your special martial arts training leads you to master the use of certain weapons. This path also includes instruction in the modification and maintenance of the tools of your trade. You gain the following benefits:
 * Ranged Weapon Proficiency: All Ranged martial weapons are considered Monk weapons. You ignore the loading property on weapons you are proficient with.


 * Rapid Fire: When you use a monk feature which would normally grant you an additional unarmed attack, you may instead make a ranged weapon attack using a monk weapon.
 * Tool Proficiency: You gain proficiency with Smith’s Tools.

Optional Rule: Firearm Proficieny
If your Dungeon Master uses the rules on firearms in chapter 9 of the  Dungeon Master's Guide  and your character has been exposed to the operations of such weapons, your character is proficient with them.

Vital Shot
At 6th level, your ki allows you to make precise, deadly shots to your opponent’s vital points. You gain the following benefits:
 * Your attacks with your ranged monk weapons count as magical for the purpose of overcoming resistance and immunity to non magical attacks and damage.


 * You may deliver stunning strikes with ranged monk weapon attacks. When delivering such an attack using a ranged monk weapon in addition to the normal effect, on a failed save, the targeted creature begins to bleed profusely. The creature takes 1d4 necrotic damage at the start of each turn. At the start of their turn, an affected creature may make a wisdom (medicine) roll against your ki save to stop the bleeding.

Eye of the Storm
At 11th level, you further develop your ability to make shots others would find near impossible, granting you the following benefits.
 * When firing a ranged monk weapon, you do not roll with disadvantage when attacking at target within 5 feet or at long ranges
 * The attacks ignore half and three-quarters cover.  

The Perfect Storm
At 17th level, you develop a technique which allows you to fire with unprecedented levels of precision. At the start of your turn, you may give yourself advantage on ranged attack rolls for the duration of the current turn. When using this feature, your speed is reduced to 0 until the start of your next turn.
