"Once per round when the wearer spends a ki point, he gains a +1 natural armor bonus to AC and a +1 enhancement bonus to Strength for 1 round. If the wearer spends another ki point before the end of his next turn, the duration is extended by 1 round and the natural armor and enhancement bonuses are increased by 1 (to a maximum of +4).
The bonuses to AC and Strength last for only 1 round following the expenditure of the last ki point."
The wording on this is pretty bad. So if you go off what 1 round means which means ending right before the initiative that started the effect this would only get a +1 bonus for 1 turn and end.
Since that doesn't make any sense. this is what i think it does.
You get 1 natural armor and 1 str per ki points you use per turn but that only lasts until the end of your next turn unless you use a ki point or you get it for 4 extra turns.
The reason why i think this is because it says "once per round" but then once you have that first bonus it triggers a second ability that as along as you spend a ki point before the end of your next turn (also where im pulling the duration from) it increases this ability and it extends it a round however, the last line "last for only 1 round following the expenditure of the last ki point" totally contradicts the duration extension spending extra ki is supposed to give.
There's lots of different ways this item would go but it takes up a valuable slot and costs 10k so it better do something pretty decent. Let me hear your thoughts and why. Thanks!

If you spend 1 ki point, you get the listed bonuses until right before your next turn starts. When your next turn starts, the bonuses turn off.
If you activate it again during that next turn, the bonuses turn back on, and are increased as stated in the item description.
I should add, I don’t know this item, and I’m not looking it up. But from the text you provided, that’s what happens.
