Ki Point

Ki Point is a class-specific resource for Monks.

Overview

Ki Points enable monks to use many monk specific abilities, like  Flurry of Blows or  Deflect Missiles. They, like all resources, are displayed above a characters hotbar next to their other resources such as  Actions,  Bonus Actions, and Spell Slots.

Gaining Ki Points

Monks earn 1 maximum Ki Point per monk level, starting with 2 at level 1 and ending with 13 at level 12.

• Way of the Open Hand monks can use  Wholeness of Body once per Long Rest to recover half their maximum Ki Points, then 1 Ki point per round for three rounds.
• Way of the Drunken Master monks can use  Cheeky Tipple once per Long Rest by drinking alcohol to recover half their maximum Ki Points (rounded down).
•  Ki Restoration (Lesser) from the  Sentient Amulet (Rare) recovers 2 Ki Points once per Long Rest.
•  Ki Restoration (Greater) from the  Sentient Amulet (Very Rare) recovers a random number of Ki Points up to the monk's martial dice once per Long Rest.
•  Divine Intervention: Opulent Revival from the Cleric class can restore 100% of an ally monk's Ki Points, once per playthrough.
