Monk Subclass for 5e
The word "through" mostly stops applying to a Sleepwalker. This monk moves by dream logic, past difficult terrain and crowds and, later on, gravity.
It also carries a save-setter that costs one Focus and softens an enemy up for the party's big spells, and whoever is holding those spells will be glad of it.
At 17th level things get odd in a way we're pretty fond of. A lieutenant the monk has knocked out cold becomes a library.
