Fleet Step

^{11th-level Way of the Open Hand feature}
You can easily stride out of harm’s way. When you take a Bonus Action other than Step of the Wind, you can also use Step of the Wind as part of that Bonus Action.

Quivering Palm

^{17th-level Way of the Open Hand feature}
You gain the ability to set up lethal vibrations in someone’s body. When you hit a creature with an Unarmed Strike, you can spend 4 focus to start these imperceptible vibrations, which last for a number of days equal to your Adept level. The vibrations are harmless unless you use your Action to end them. Alternatively, when you take the Attack action on your turn, you can replace one of the attacks with this Action. To use this Action, you and the target must be on the same plane of existence. When you use this Action, the target must make a Constitution saving throw, taking 10d12 necrotic damage on a failed save or half as much damage on a successful one. If the creature fails this saving throw by 5 or more, it is reduced to 0 hit points.

You can have only one creature under the effect of this feature at a time. You can end the vibrations harmlessly without using an Action.
