[QUOTE="Flamestrike, post: 8127879, member: 6788736"] 2 Ki points for [martial arts die + Prof mod] healing as an action, and then you get ether a weapon attack or unarmed strike as a bonus action thanks to Ki fuelled attack. It's not that weak; its simply situational. Monks got a lot of love in this book. Fighter initiate [Unarmed fighting style] is a straight up feat tax for Monks (which increases DPR by turning unarmed damage into d8's at 1st level), Ki Fuelled Attack is a straight up DPR increase (now when you Ki dodge, use Shadow Arts or 4EM Magic to cast a spell with Ki points, heal someone, use Quivering palm. or Haruken as a Sun Soul Monk, or Sharpen a blade as a Kensai etc, you also get a free weapon or unarmed attack), and focussed Aim is a straight up DPR boost that turns misses into hits, after the fact, and Dedicated weapon lets you use a Longsword (d10 damage) as a Monk weapon starting at 2nd level (a straight up DPR increase). They get all that for free. By my count that's 4 different DPR buffs to Monks, and they get all of them for free (barring Fighting initiate [unarmed]). [/QUOTE]
