And then not giving the class any bonus hit points. And then still having other subclasses who have Ki. And then not making the Ki abilities mechanically better for the Blood Monk. It's burning the candle at both ends. It's the same problem all the Warlock Invocations that say "you may cast this spell by expending a Warlock slot" have. It's not a mechanically inoperable design; it just won't keep up in actual play unless it's cost makes up for the huge drawback.Just eliminate the Ki cost of 4E monk and give them the Arcane Trickster/Eldritch Knight spellcasting progression and the super narrow spell list. Problem solved.</blockquote>
