Why do they call those cheesy-sleazy pseudo-historical romance novels "bodice rippers", anyway? (No offense to anyone who reads them, I have been known to partake of raunchy Regencies with certain regularity; this is about the nickname.)
I mean, really, have you ever looked closely at an actual bodice? Those things are some serious garment construction right there. Ask anyone who knows something about sewing.
They're built to keep the boobage in place and help shape the torso, so they're pretty tough material... and that's without taking any boning (not that kind! the stuff that makes corsets keep their shape!) into account.
Dude, there is NO way anyone is just ripping one open without a very sharp blade through either the lacing or the fabric, and it will probably end with a bleeding lady who doesn't much feel like putting out for Sir Slice-a-lot.

The Way of the Granite Guardian - Homebrew Monk Subclass by Nines
Always was a fan of the "Medusa was actually blessed by Athena to protect her" interpretation. It kinda falls to pieces when you realize that Athena was also the one that sent Perseus to kill her, though. Just like Perseus falls to pieces in this image. I guess you could write it as an attempt to fake her death?...
The idea of the Granite was actually inspired by a game called Slice and Dice. Not exactly a lot of story to it, but it's a pretty fun little dice-rolling roguelike.
The nature of this subclass gives you an unusual combination of durability and mobility, making you a frontliner and defender unlike any other in D&D. If you want to be particularly cheesy, you can use your mobility to run away from your allies, forcing enemy combatants to redirect their melee attacks far away from the rest of the party.
The 3rd level abilities of this subclass are definitely extremely loaded; half of Granite's Blessing just makes you immune to Petrification's downsides - though, notably, not advantage on attacks made against you, which helps to further redirect attacks towards yourself. You give up a lot of things for this powerful protection, though. While you can redirect as many attacks to yourself as you want per turn, you're still a bit less bulky than a Barbarian just by virtue of the difference in hit dice, and being attacked by every single enemy on the map can be rough even with the resistance afforded by petrification. You also give up nearly all of your action economy for these defenses, so you won't be throwing out nearly as many Flurries of Blows or Stunning Strikes, which might be a better use of ki in some encounters.
The "unintended side effect" bit of the 6th level feature is just because I thought it would be funny. You petrified your face too many times and now you're literally too stony-faced to laugh.

What's this?! A New Segment?!
I'm just playing a lot of one shots lately, so decided to corral them into one genre :) Tonight it's Slice and Dice, a rouge-like pixely dungeon crawler! Let's pray for my luck!
Watch me here!

listen
I did one sh cvt and sure I felt mildly unstable afterwards
BUT I'm totally rocking today like no urges or whatever
i am allowed to have my cake and eat it too
i only allow myself one cvt at a time when I'm feeling like that and it usually ends up with a reduced amount of huge cvt sessions
tho I do go to therapy and take meds too so that might have something to do w it
idc tho!!! I'm totally w the only one cvt trend I've got going

There only appears to be one other person on this website who plays Slice and Dice, but if anyone following me decides to buy the full version...all-blue custom parties routinely let you pull off goofy stuff.
For context, I beat the boss fight by spending 27 of that 843 mana spamming Crush. I only needed 3.2% of that.

Slice and Di(c)e.
On a bit of a roguelike-game-that-kicks-my-ass fanart spree right now so expect more.
Also, it's possible this only makes sense in my head
