Posted Jun 4, 2020If it's not it should be described.
If it is the same as Ki then this feat is overpowered. It doubles the Ki points of monks which for lower levels means they don't have to think as much about how to use the Ki and for higher levels is basically unlimited Ki. The increase in damage is not really clear, but more damage on top of the d10 the monk will have for any attacks with unarmed strikes and monk weapons, I don't know how balanced this is. And last but not least, +2 to spell save DC, now let's do some basic maths
8 + prof bonus + wis mod = monk spell save DC for Ki abilities
A max level monk with 20 wis will have a spell save DC of 19 + 2 from this feat and it's 21, you add the double Ki you get and you basically have unlimited stun because 19 is already a high DC and adding a modifier on top of doubling the Ki points a monk will have the monk will try to stun with every single attack until the target is stunned, with 4 attacks possible in a turn by default. Equally a level 5 monk will now have 10 Ki points and let's say it has a Wis of 16 that makes the spell save DC 14 without double the Ki points this is totally balanced, but given the fact that now the monk has 10 Ki points and the DC is now 16 it still makes it way too strong no matter what level you take this at.
