You can spend a ki point as a bonus action (or the same action as Arms) to gain a visage. Visage of the Astral SelfĪt level 6, you gain the Visage ability. This is the best monk for the maximum Wisdom build, which is a really fun idea! Make sure your Dexterity is good enough for before level 3. Your Wisdom is good for AC, the most important save in the game, and now for your attacks and damage. You can fully pump Wisdom! You can be a high Wisdom-based monk. You don’t need to necessarily be in the thick of combat at all times, and can sit behind a Barbarian or Fighter and stay safe. You gain 5 extra feet of reach during attacks on your turn, which means you can play a really cool “spear” monk. When you use those unarmed strikes, you get two gigantic benefits. So you have counterplay against toxic oozes! If your enemy has an effect that only triggers when an unarmed strike lands, these arms technically protect you.

As such, the Monk is only really good in the midgame, when it has enough ki to both assume their Arm state and use the Flurry of Blows action.
