On the 12th level list of powers for the Qinggong variant, it lists both Elemental Fist and Punishing Kick as 2 Ki point powers. My Question is there an official word as to if these are just the basic generic versions of the feats or do they use the "better" level based versions available to the Monk of the Four Winds/Hungry Ghost archetypes?
I'm inclined to allow the better versions in my game since it costs 2 Ki and making it just the generic feat is ridiculously underpowered as you are getting only one use of the feat per round.
RAW the normal versions.
(since the ability to do better versions is specifically called out when applicable)
THAT SAID I would totally definitely allow the better scaling versions due to the fact that as is at 2 points it is very underpowered.
(Hmm, 2 points to add 1d6 energy damage to my unarmed attack, only if it hits, or 2 points to do 12d6 damage of the type of my choice in a cone or line.... decisions decisions....)
Even with the better versions they are still weak. So yeah, I would say go nuts. I would probably even let the feat last for a minute or something even, just to make it not a terrible choice.
