Message: <blockquote data-quote="Paul Farquhar" data-source="post: 7441017" data-attributes="member: 6906155">An Eldritch Knight doesn't get fireball until level 13, so that's not the issue.But a Level 13 EK has 4/3/2 spell slots plus cantrips, when the monk has 13 Ki points, which is worth about 2/1/2, and Elemental Attunement falls well short of many cantrips.The problem arises because Ki points progress linearly whilst spell slots progress exponentially. Compare to Psi Points on the UA mystic, which are designed to progress like spell slots.The linier progression is okay for sorcerers and most monks, as the points are just being used to modify an buff other abilities. But when they are used to fuel primary attacks they aren't enough.As I suggested earlier, the easiest fix is for the DM to provide the Pot4E monk with a magic item that boosts ki points.</blockquote>
