Evasion-Joris takes no damage from any save for half effects on a save, and half on a failed save.

Blinding Speed-Joris is so fast, he is able act three times, at three separate initiative counts. In addition, so long as he is able to move, he has +5 bonus to his AC and opportunity attacks against him have disadvantage. Finally, he can climb walls, including ceilings, as well as cross liquids and even travel through the air without any penalty to his speed. He must, however, end his turn on a solid surface or he will fall.

Ki-Joris has 30 points of Ki, that recharge on a short rest. In addition, all his attacks count as magical.

Stunning Strike-Without expending an action, Joris may force an opponent he has just struck to make a DC 21 Constitution saving throw or become stunned until the end of his next turn. This costs one point of Ki.

Challenge analysis:

Defensively, he has 190 HP, for CR 8. But his AC of 25 ups that by 5, and I'll add three for his various defensive options. CR 16 Defensively.

Offensively, he has up to 8 attacks, at +16, dealing 16.5 damage each. That's 132 damage, for CR 20, but he has a +16 rather than +10, for CR 23.

Averaged out, that's CR 20. Seems reasonable.

Woops, forgot he had three turns. That's 396 damage, for CR 34. Average that with CR 16 defensively, he's CR 25. Seems legit.

He's a glass cannon, though. Kill him fast or die hard.
