Editing Monk (section)

===Unchained===
''Pathfinder Unchained'' included a rework of the monk class, known as the Unchained Monk. While this is a serious improvement on the class and brings them up to tier 4, it isn't compatible with most of the older archetypes due to how substantial its changes were. That said, however, it has seen its fair share of archetypes following their release, showing that Paizo doesn't view it as such a complete mistake like the unchained [[barbarian]], but not a necessity like the unchained [[summoner]].

The differences between the two variants are as follows:
*The U-Monk has a full BAB progression as opposed to the core monk's 3/4 BAB
*The U-Monk loses Will as a good save, meaning it no longer has good progression in all saves
*Flurry of Blows only grants the U-Monk one extra attack at their highest BAB as opposed to multiple attacks at a lower BAB than usual. Both still need a full action to use it.
*Every 2 levels after level 4 the U-Monk can select a ki power, which allows them to either take the core monk's abilities or take various other not-quite-magical powers...or take powers from the qigong monk without needing the archetype.
*Every 5 levels the U-Monk gets style strikes, unique attacks they can blend into one hit of their Flurry.
