Hello,

I let the monk in my group use the Way of the Four Elements Remastered subclass. Should I also let her use Ki Fueled Attack from tashas, or is that too powerful?

Ki Fueled Attack: If you spend 1 ki point or more as part of your action on your turn, you can make one attack with an unarmed strike or a monk weapon as a bonus action before the end of the turn.

So far the only applicable ability she took would be Sweeping Cinder Strike (She can cast burning hands for 1 ki point)

TIA!

    Is that Tashas Crucible? I have that book as well too. Your mileage may vary with it. The other one has a wild magic remaster if I remember right.

    I’ve found the book to be pretty good. And I’m not entirely familiar with monks and that subclass I’d imagine it’s probably fine/good. I do like when people try to fix issues though

    It’s probably fine. However, I will point out that you have correctly surmised that both exist to address similar issues. Ki-fueled attack is there to increase the value of the ki round (now for four ki you cast fireball and punch!), whereas the remastered version gives you more ki rounds (now for three ki you cast firebal).

    I wouldn’t feel the need to add in Ki-Fueled attack if I was bringing in a subclass replacement that explicitly handles stuff like the one you linked does. 4 Elements needs more total spells (this one doubles spell access) and it needs greater efficiency on ki (your pick handles this by using the rounded-down cost of "level N spell costs N ki instead of the rounded-up version where it’s N+1).

    I doubt it will break stuff, but I think the remaster solves it good enough and a better way.
