[QUOTE="DrJawaPhD, post: 9849815, member: 7044770"] Good call on Flurry of Blows. That is more straight up powerful than the Attack Action at levels 1-4 and then again at levels 10-20. In 2014 rules this wasn't an issue since using it required taking the Attack Action first, but in 2024 rules this restriction was removed so it would be problematic to allow Flurry of Blows as an Action. At first glance I wouldn't think that Patient Defense and Step of the Wind would be an issue if allowed as an Action, but then the class design is that these abilities are defensive choices meant to compete with Flurry of Blows as the offensive choice. This makes allowing Patient Defense or Step of the Wind as an Action effectively be the same thing as allowing Flurry of Blows an Action. So yeah I wouldn't allow these either Still seems like dedicating an entire Feat to using these Bonus Action abilities as an Action would be super weak compared to other options, but yeah definitely not useless.
