Way of the Messenger Monk

1st Level: Nimble Messenger

Your movement ignores difficult terrain, and your movement speed increases by 10ft. You have advantage on Athletics and Acrobatics checks made while moving, and gain proficiency in one of these skills.

1st Level: Far Traveller

While travelling, you can move stealthily at a normal pace and do not suffer a -5 penalty to your passive Wisdom (Perception) score while travelling at a fast pace. Additionally, you have advantage on saving throws against exhaustion, and your carrying capacity is doubled.

6th Level: Messenger's Instincts

When you are hit by an attack on another creature's turn, you may use your reaction to immediately move up to half your speed. This movement does not provoke attacks of opportunity.
Additionally, your movement speed increases by 10 feet.

6th Level:

11th Level: Messenger's Wings

You gain a flying speed equal to your walking speed.

17th Level: Unstoppable

While you are conscious, you are always considered to be under the effect of the Freedom of Movement spell. As a result, spells and other magical effects can neither reduce your speed nor cause you to be paralyzed or restrained. You can also spend 5 feet of movement to automatically escape from nonmagical restraints, such as manacles or a creature that has you grappled. Finally, being underwater imposes no penalties on your movement or attacks. - this should be reworded to be unlinked
