Monk Ki Spells Ability Score


Rules Discussion


What ability score is tied to the Monk's ki spells? The 'Sample Monk' sidebar for the Ki Monk says "Wisdom empowers your ki spells", but I can't find rules text in the Monk class that has anything to do with Wisdom.

It's wisdom. Yeah, it's not listed on anything else besides the sidebar. It will probably be added in the errata.

But well, if this answer is not satisfying, technically by the spellcasting rules, if an ability score is not listed, it's charisma.


Definitely needs an errata, because I would have just assumed it was the Monk's key ability score. I even went on the 2e Archives of Nethys and used Ctrl+F to try and find mentions of Wisdom, and I found nothing. If it is Wisdom, that puts a damper on my plans for a Ki Monk with Sorcerer Dedication.

For what it's worth, it should only affect Ki Blast, Quivering Palm and Wholeness of Body (only i used to conteract poison or disease).
