[QUOTE="jgsugden, post: 8049015, member: 2629"] I have been playing a monk for a while, and do not think the changes are necessary. My human variant monk (warlock magic initiate with hex) has been very solid and effective. The Hex was primarily used to supplement ranged attacks at lower level (versus flyers, foes across wide barriers) or to lower enemy ability score checks (an underrated use of the ability) - It was only used in melee against a few huge hp solo type monsters. With the structure described, and ki regenerating outside combat, your monk is going to never run out of Ki, essentially making all of their abilities at will. That is a stun [I]every round[/I] of combat, and an extra attack [I]every round[/I] of combat (for 4 attacks total). That is going to be ridiculous. I would advise using the monk as is, and if not that, then downgrade this version by a lot - perhaps gain 1 ki if less than max ki when they roll initiative. [/QUOTE]
