I have found the new wholeness of body to be pretty bad and useless.
So I have decided to improve it a bit.
At lvl 7 when the monk gets it, it heals 1d8+monk level. Then at lvl 10 and every 3 levels later (13, 16, 19) it heals additional +1d8 for a total of 5d8+monk level at lvl 19. On average that gives 20ih more HP (like the old Wholeness of Body but with a more random element).
I know monks get more of these per day now, but as I am trying to give some more healing to other classes (and not make all dependent on Clerics) I feel it is OK. Also, using up your standard action in combat for healing is worth it.
Why not do it just like what the paladin does? 1d6 healing per 2 class levels?
After all in 3.5 it was about the same thing as lay on hands anyways.

No, it wasn't. Monk could heal once ONLY himself for 2xhis level, while paladin could heal anyone in increments of his choice for up to his charisma times his level.
And I am not trying to make this healing as powerful as paladins, just more useful a standard action during combat.
Ok, I remember the difference now, however... why not make it as powerful as Lay on Hands? It's already limited in that you can only use it on yourself, eats up a resource point, AND a standard action. If you are going to burn a standard for it along with everything else, lets make it worth it. As a seventh level ability goes Cure Light Wounds really isn't worth it.
All in all 1d6 per 2 monk levels as a standard action isn't a big deal to me.
