Qinggong Powers at 8th and 10th?


Rules Questions


Building a Drunken Master/Qinggong Monk for a new game. By the list hereQinggong Monk replaces "slow fall (4th), high jump (5th), wholeness of body (7th), diamond body (11th), abundant step (12th), diamond soul (13th), quivering palm (15th), timeless body (17th), tongue of the sun and moon (17th), empty body (19th), and perfect self (20th)." for ki powers from their list.

The qinggong list of powers introduces new powers at 8th level, and 10th level. If you go strictly by the list above then it makes no sense for their to be 2 lists since it isn't possible to add more powers between 7th level and 11th level. Unless there is a feat to do so? I'm not aware of any such feat.

But another possibility does occur to me. If you look at the Monk class table, at level 8 and 10 Slow Fall gains improvements. Does the Qinggong Monk trade those out for additional ki powers, or do you just ignore them because you traded out Slow Fall at 4th level? If the Qinggong Monk does gain additional powers then the new powers at 8th and 10th suddenly do make sense.


The list you've quoted lists Slow Fall only at 4th level, as a single class feature. When for instance a Fighter archetype trases out only the first instance of weapon training, the archetype say it replaces "weapon training 1", Qinggong does not say it replaces "slow fall 20ft".

Yes, the list is super wierd, and the levels don't make sense. I presume it was written for some early idea of a Monk rework. At least the list works perfectly with unchained Monk.
