Monk Rework Idea

Hey guys,

So, recently I've been trying to create a new monk for Dnd 5th edition. And I would like to know what do you guys think of this mechanic:

​

• Monks now gain ki as they hit a target and while they are on initiative (Up to dm Discretion so you can not keep punching rats) It would work more like a combo system.
• They have a shorter maximum Ki capacity
• They would stack their ki and unleash for some unique mechanic.
• Ki points for the features of the monk do would be rebalanced.

What do you guys think of this approach to the class? Would it be broken based on the resource system of dnd? Some classes such as the rogue can do their thing every turn, so it would be a unique mechanic for the monk.

Their subclass would need change. And my thinking was each subclass would have a way to expend the excess ki and or have some passive buffs while reducing their maximum capacity of ki. You could center by using action or bonus action and change the buffs mid combat.

​

Let me know your thoughts on something like that, I have been thinking on writing this monk rework for a time and would love some help with ideas and critics. Feel free to share your opinion.
