[QUOTE="Stalker0, post: 8106675, member: 5889"] While true you could say that about a lot of mechanics in the game, especially for classes. Rogues are the only ones that get sneak attack. Barbarians can gain advantage on attacks at will and can add their con to their AC. Wizards can cast rituals they don't even have prepared that day...etc. Every class by design bends the rules a bit, that's what makes them cool and special. So the idea that the monk is the one class that can actually allow its training to effect its AC....that is well within the "classes bend the rules" notion. Now personally I do not see a need for a monk to be push to "all wisdom". I think the 10 + dex or wis + prof is good enough, it doesn't fundamentally change the math too much, but allows the monk a wider range of options to stay competent. To the notion "adding Wis to their initiative modifier", I think that is also a fine little bump for the class if you want to go that route. [/QUOTE]
