Way of the Time Phaser
All Monks train in Ki, each a different aspect of it. Monks who train in the Way of the Time Phaser specifically train in the aspect of time. All life changes over time, going through different phases. Time Phasers learn to harness each phase of Ki from the past, present, and future. Time Phasers make deadly combatants; using time to alter themselves and their allies, or even to alter the world around them.
Strikes from the Past
Beginning at 3rd level, the nature of your unarmed strikes changes. You now gain attack bonuses for every successful consecutive hit you make. On your turn, you gain a +2 bonus to the attack rolls to your unarmed strikes for each time you successfully hit a creature, to a maximum of +6. This bonus resets to 0 if you take damage on your turn.
Future State
When you get to 6th level, you learn to speed or slow down the future of yourself and others. You may spend 3 Ki points to cast the Haste or Slow spells.
Strikes from the Future
Beginning at 11th level, your unarmed strikes receive another improvement. You now gain damage bonuses for every successful consecutive hit you make. It works the same as the Strikes from the Past feature and follows the same restrictions (being that the maximum bonus you can get is still a +6).
Present's Halt
Upon reaching 17th level, you've mastered the ultimate time-phasing technique. You can spend 8 Ki points to cast the Time Stop spell. When you do so, taking actions that affect other creatures doesn't end the spell early.
