Mid-combat refresh is a possibility. You see plenty of moments in martial arts shows where the hero has to recenter themselves in the middle of combat with some breathing and posing to gather their ki for a big push.
I like the idea of a monk being able to spend an action to regain ki equal to their wisdom modifier. Call it centering themselves. Giving up an action is a big deal, so the payoff has to be significant.
Example: "I use my movement to sprint as far as I can away from the troll. For my action, I am going to center myself [regains 4 ki]."
I think I mentioned this Feat in this thread (but if not), this is from Kobold Press:I like that, but I would make "centre yourself: as an action, regain ki = to your wisdom modifier" a baseline feature and then add an extra effect at level 8...like being able to also spend hit dice for healing, or gain a resistance, or something.
Fun idea, but I don't think combat last long enough for something like that.if they get damaged while using it it's not quite as effective
Gaining Ki without spending a resource mean you can't design cool stuff to use your ki.I like that, but I would make "centre yourself: as an action, regain ki = to your wisdom modifier" a baseline feature and then add an extra effect at level 8...like being able to also spend hit dice for healing, or gain a resistance, or something.
