D&D (2024) Discipline Points or Focus Points?

[Marandahir]

How about calling them Power Points and return the Monk to being Psionic as it was in 4e?

*edit: I've always thought of PP = Power Points, rather than Psi Points, due to Golden Sun using it for their Psynergetic Powers. Of course, in Japan, they're EP - Energy Points, and Psynergy is just called Energy. I'd be cool with Energy Points too for the Monk too!

I think they should use Power Points, the association with Psionics being intentional, even if they have absolutely no intention of making a Psion class in the PHB.

Style Points! The more you spend, the shabbier your Kung Fu becomes!

It is specifically a Japanese word. On a Chinese Shaolin archetype. If anything, it should be qi (ch'i, if you want to use the deprecated Wade-Giles romanization).

Sorry, I was trying to make the point that ki is a member of a multicultural set of cognate words.
But I haven't studied the languages in question so I may well be wrong!

Definitely discipline points.

Just wait- pretty soon we will see WoTC release the Warrior of the Leather Daddy.

I'll put that dude up against my warlock. Don't draw the dire attention of his master and patron, the Basement Gimp. Woe betide you, etc. etc.

If the purpose is multicultural then "aura points" or "lifeforce points".

If "spirit points", that would include psionic as well, and even "psi points" can make sense then.

"Breath" points would be accurate across many languages, but would probably confuse people.
