[QUOTE="Minigiant, post: 8426043, member: 63508"] Ki in 5e is just flowing life energy. The Monk's problem isn't Ki per se. The Martial arts = Ki wasn't the problem either. That is just flavor and fixed if the base wasn't so hardcoded. The Monk's problem was that the WOTC designers based the the class off of the paytest but only offered one type of monk image: the old busted one. Then they tried to simplify it for new players So there was no path to expand it as the only options for it was old bad ideas based on the skeleton for a single viewpoint and then dumbed down. This is why when they attempted to expand on the monk with the ATLA-like Way of the 4 Elements, Street Fighter like Way ofte Sun Soul, and the Kensei, it was unfulfilling to many. 5e still was selling Caine from Kung Fu and Remo Williams and trying to paint new ideas on it just like 3e, 2e, and the rest did.
