Yeah 5e has them as using ki in ways that feels very much like they started building a psion and were told to change it to a monk. Pf2 has them also using qi magic (there it's just the monk flavoring of focus spells, something most classes have), and doing a lot of classic monk stuff. There I'm far less unhappy with it being it's own class, I just don't think wuxia classes are generally fitting enough to belong in core 2 rather than a splatbook.

Reminds me of the Palladium monk occupation. Strictly about dodging and the point was monks did NOT attack or fight. Striking an opponent meant being defrocked and losing monk status. I thought it was a neat take (and a direct response to the DnD monk trope.)

Pure dialogue and skill class. Never got a Palladium campaign really going though. Just a sea of worldbuilding.
