[QUOTE="Undrave, post: 8070347, member: 7015698"] We talked about the psychology thing and I want to mention: using your ki to dodge doesn't [B]feel [/B]good. [LIST] [*]It's not flashy. [*]It doesn't feel like its progressing the game state because no damage is traded. [*]You don't roll anything. [*]You don't know if you'll be attacked, nor you don't know what the DM will roll. If the DM rolls a fumble you feel like you wasted your Ki. If the DM decides to attack an easier target, you don't see that as an advantage. [/LIST] So, to me, no matter how good it technically is, it doesn't feel good, nor like an actually cool thing. I don't think it'd be broken if it didn't cost Ki, to be honest.
