[QUOTE="Leatherhead, post: 6945467, member: 53176"] Consider trying this: You gain X Ki points per at the beginning of your turn, this represents the Monk gaining focus during the encounter around them, rewarding patient monks with better opportunities and abilities. Also providing a unique meta-mechanic where someone gets [I]stronger[/I] over time. You may later want to then modify it so that higher level monks start out an encounter with a reserve, so that they can more quickly get to their more expensive options. You can even make it so the more lackluster Traditions (4 elements~) get more points to work with. Just keep in mind that fights are supposed to last 3 to 5 rounds, and some monk abilities cost 6 or even up to 10 ki points. And look out for Long Death monks, you will have to do something about them. Battlemasters work slightly differently.
