True Seeing requires an entire action for a minimum 11th level spellcasting character; but a 6th level Monk can make an unarmed attack AND cast a spell to see people through walls during their same turn?  Uh uh...not happening.Not sure what the people that designed that pdf were thinking, but allowing many of those disciplines as a bonus action is incredibly overpowered.  They need to take 1 action - same as in the PHB - and since they aren't an unarmed attack, no bonus action is allowed when using them.So, to sum up:- Should cost 3 ki points (not 2 ki points).- Remove see thru walls, hidden and obscure. (Invisible is okay, since See Invisibility is a 2nd level spell.)- 1 Action (not Bonus Action)Cheers.</blockquote>
