The only thing we added was wisdom bonuses to ki. That said. The monk could be improved. Adding a third action attack at level 13 and a third attack on flurry at level 17 would keep the monk on a good spot with the fighter. A transformation we do consider is to transform the monk into a long rest class as the other martial types. Things could be going this way.1) Flurry do not cost Ki. 2) Instead of dodging costing both a Ki and the action bonus, use a new skill, parry. At the cost of its reaction and a Ki point, the monk gains +4 AC until the start of its next turn3) All ki are multiplied by three and are restored on long rest. Doing this would mean no ki for wisdom bonus. Thus not using ki on Flurry in 1.4) increase the martial art die by one factor. D4 to d6, d6 to d8 and so on. The fact that TCoE made unarmed fighting style better that what the monk is doing is pure BS and a clear lack of respect for the class.5) Add two more feats at level 6 and 10. 6) Allow monk to use weapons doing their Martial art die or their original damage of better from the get go. Adding more "monkish" weapon would also help. Kusarigama are really good weapons and fit the monk's theme but are absent of the PHB. It's a shame that so many martial art weapons are absent from the game when the monk is in the base game. This is an almost unforgivable oversight. 7) Add more feats that could fit the monk's theme. So far, mo k is the only class that benefits truly from only two or three feats and even then, because the monk is so MAD most players will not choose feat for their character until both de  and wis are at 20. Only exception is the Mobile feat which all monks are taking. Even delaying ASI just to get it. Being able to add 10 feet and disengage on attacked target is too good an opportunity for the monk to pass on. The second most taken feat is tough... usually before starting pumping wisdom. And that is about it. But I fear the class would become too strong. Or maybe not...</blockquote>
