Well, here it is, my 8 page monk fix. I'm happy with everything except for the power list. It needs more debuffing.
Skills: same as default

Weapon and Armor Proficiencies: Monks are proficient with club, crossbow (light or heavy), dagger, handaxe, javelin, kama, nunchaku, quarterstaff, sai, shuriken, siangham, and sling. Monks are not proficient with any armor or shields; however, a monks robes can be enchanted as if it was leather armor.
When wearing armor, using a shield, or carrying a medium or heavy load, a monk loses her AC bonus, as well as her fast movement and flurry of blows abilities.
AC Bonus (Ex): When unarmored and unencumbered, the monk adds her Wisdom bonus (if any) to her AC. In addition, a monk gains a +1 bonus to AC at 1st level. This bonus increases by 1 for every five monk levels thereafter (+2 at 5th, +3 at 10th, +4 at 15th, and +5 at 20th level).
These bonuses to AC apply even against touch attacks or when the monk is flat-footed. She loses these bonuses she wears any armor, when she carries a shield, or when she carries a medium or heavy load.
Flurry of Blows (Ex): When unarmored and using an unarmed strike or a quarterstaff, a monk may strike with a flurry of blows. Instead of using the full attack action, the monk makes attacks at the attack bonuses listed in the following table:
[/spoiler]{table=head]Level|Flurry of blows Attack Bonus
1|-1/-1
2|+0/+0
3|+1/+1
4|+2/+2
5|+3/+3

19||+13/+13/+13/+9/+9/+7
20|+14/+14/+14/+10/+10/+9[/table][/spoiler]
Note: My houserules always include Full Attack as a standard action, so the class operates under the understanding that a monk can use FoB as a standard action.
Unarmed Strike: At 1st level, a monk gains Improved Unarmed Strike as a bonus feat. A monk’s attacks may be with either fist interchangeably or even from elbows, knees, and feet. This means that a monk may even make unarmed strikes with her hands full. There is no such thing as an off-hand attack for a monk striking unarmed. A monk may thus apply her full Strength bonus on damage rolls for all her unarmed strikes.
Usually a monk’s unarmed strikes deal lethal damage, but she can choose to deal nonlethal damage instead with no penalty on her attack roll. She has the same choice to deal lethal or nonlethal damage while grappling.
A monk’s unarmed strike is treated both as a manufactured weapon and a natural weapon for the purpose of spells and effects that enhance or improve either manufactured weapons or natural weapons. When creating a magical item, the creator may infuse the monk’s unarmed strike instead of a weapon at the end of crafting. The enhancement applies to all attacks a monk makes, regardless of whether the attack in unarmed or not. Monks are, obviously, proficient with all unarmed strikes they make under any circumstances. Monks may use Wisdom instead of Strength for unarmed attack rolls.
The monk does additional damage with his unarmed strike as illustrated below in the table.

Dodge: The monk gains Dodge as a bonus feat.
Unarmored Speed Bonus: As long as the monk is unarmored, he gains a bonus to speed as illustrated by the following table:
{table=head]Level|Speed Bonus
1|10ft
2|10ft
3|10ft
4|20ft

15|50ft
16|50ft
17|60ft
18|60ft
19|60ft
20|70ft
[/table]
Mobility: The monk gains mobility as a bonus feat at 2nd level.
Evasion (Ex): At 2nd level or higher if a monk makes a successful Reflex saving throw against an attack that normally deals half damage on a successful save, she instead takes no damage. Evasion can be used only if a monk is wearing light armor or no armor. A helpless monk does not gain the benefit of evasion.
Bonus Feats: At 3rd level, the monk gains Improved Grapple, Stunning Fist, Combat Reflexes, and Deflect Arrows. At 6th level, the monk gains Improved Disarm and Improved Trip.
Ki Points: A monk of 4th level gains a number of Ki points and powers known as if he was a psion of three levels lower than his monk level. These Ki points are similar to the power points of psionic classes. He begins knowing three monk powers of your choice. Each time he achieves a new level, he unlocks the knowledge of new powers as shown in the table. His manifester level equals his monk level-3.
Choose the powers known from the monk power list. A monk can manifest any power that has a ki point cost equal to or lower than his manifester level.
The number of times a monk can manifest powers in a day is limited only by his daily ki points.
A monk simply knows his powers; they are ingrained in his mind. He does not need to prepare them (in the way that some spellcasters prepare their spells), though he must get a good night’s sleep each day to regain all his spent power points.
The Difficulty Class for saving throws against monk powers is 10 + the power’s level + the monk’s Wisdom modifier.
Maximum Power Level Known: A monk of fourth level has the ability to learn 1st-level powers. As he attains higher levels, a monk may gain the ability to master more complex powers as shown in the table.
To learn or manifest a power, a monk must have a Wisdom score of at least 10 + the power’s level.
A monk must hit with a melee attack to deliver offensive powers. He may deliver one power per hit. His only non-offensive powers are granted by his class. A monk gains a special monk-related power in addition to any other powers known at every level. They can use each of these abilities once per day without expending power points unless noted otherwise.
Still Mind: At 4th level, the monk may spend a single Ki point as a free action to gain a +6 bonus to one saving throw. This may be used a maximum of 5x/day
Slow Fall At 4th level, the monk can spend a single Ki point as a free action to use Feather Fall with a caster level equal to his manifester level.
Enchanted Blows: The monk’s unarmed attack is considered to be a magic weapon for the purpose of overcoming Damage Reduction. In addition, the monk gains a +1 enhancement equivalent to his unarmed strikes. This may be changed daily. For example, a monk could one day choose to gain a +1 bonus to attack and damage as if he had a +1 magic weapon. However, the next day, he may know that the party will be facing demons. He changes the enchantment in his fists to Bane (evil outsiders). This stacks with other enchantments of the monk’s fist. For example, if the monk has +3 flaming fists, he may add this on to have the equivalent of +4 flaming fists, or +3 flaming dragonbane fists.
Faster than the Eye: At 5th level, the monk may expend a single Ki point as a swift action to move his speed. He may not move any farther during the round. He may use this during a Flurry of Blows attack and use the remainder of his attacks on a different enemy now in reach. If he does so, no AoO is provoked. For example, if a monk is standing next to a dragon and has 4 FoB attacks, he may make two of them against the dragon, use the power to move his speed, and use the rest of them on a different enemy, perhaps a kobold minion.
Purity of Body: The monk gains immunity at 5th level to all diseases and poisons, including poison damage.
Wholeness of Body: At 6th level, the monk may use Cure Light Wounds at the cost of two Ki points. His manifester level equals his caster level.
Epic Leap: At 7th level, the monk may expend two Ki points to jump a total of 50ft. He may expend additional Ki points when using Epic Leap, adding 25ft to the jump distance for each one. It takes a full round (you may perform other actions) to travel 1000ft. The daily free use of this gives you 50ft extra distance. (Fun Fact: at 19th level, the monk can jump over a mile by expending most of his Ki points for that day)
Reserved for 8th level:
Abundant Step: At 9th level, the monk may expend 3 Ki points to use Dimension Door using his manifester level as his caster level.
Cosmic Blows: At 10th level, the monk’s unarmed strike counts as any alignment for the purpose of bypassing Damage Resistance. In addition, a monk may expend 5 power points to use Divine Power using his manifester level as his caster level.
Diamond Body: At 11th level, a monk gains immunity to sickness of any kind and Damage Reduction as a barbarian of his level-5. In addition, he may expend 5 Ki points to gain an invincible body for one round as a standard action. While in this state, a monk adds 300 to any Damage Reduction he has, +10 to his AC, gains a +20 bonus on all saves, cannot take standard, free, swift, or full-round actions, cannot move more than 10ft per round in any way, is blind, deaf, and mute, and cannot expend Ki. However, his outward appearance does not change.
True Seeing: At 12th level, the monk may expend 4 power points to use True Seeing using his manifester level as his caster level.
Morph Soul: At 13th level, the monk may expend 5 power points to change his abilities as if he was using the polymorph spell using his manifester level has his caster level.. However, his outward appearance does not change (he still gains size bonuses, special movement modes, etc).
Note: Polymorph is dangerous. Please use the GiantITP variant found HERE.
Diamond Soul: At 13th level, a monk gains spell resistance equal to her current monk level + 10. In order to affect the monk with a spell, an enemy spellcaster must get a result on a caster level check (1d20 + caster level) that equals or exceeds the monk’s spell resistance. All harmless spells bypass this SR (including spells that are harmful to certain creature types, like undead, but not the monk).
Quivering Palm: At 14th level, for 10 Ki points, a monk may set up vibrations within the body of another creature that can thereafter be fatal if the monk so desires. She must announce her intent before making her attack roll. If the monk strikes successfully and the target takes damage from the blow, the quivering palm attack succeeds. Thereafter the monk can try to slay the victim at any later time, as long as the attempt is made within a number of days equal to her monk level. To make such an attempt, the monk merely wills the target to die (a free action), and unless the target makes a Fortitude saving throw (DC 10 + ½ the monk’s level + the monk’s Wis modifier), it dies. If the saving throw is successful, the target is no longer in danger from that particular quivering palm attack, but it may still be affected by another one at a later time.
Adamantine Fists: At 15th level, the monk’s unarmed attacks are treated as adamantine weapons for the purpose of dealing damage to creatures with damage reduction and bypassing hardness. In addition, the monk may expend 6 Ki points to
Empty Body: At 16th level, a monk gains the ability to assume an ethereal state for 1 round per monk level by expending 7 Ki points, as though using the spell etherealness using his monk level as his caster level.
Tongue of Sun and Moon: At 17th level, a monk may communicate with any creature, independent of the language you speak. The monk also gains limited truenaming abilities. He may choose up to 12 levels of utterances. For example, he could choose Ether Reforged and Greater Word of Nurturing, both 6th level (6+6=12), or Caster Lens, Temporal Twist, Incarnation of Angels, 4th, 2nd, 3rd, and 3rd (4+2+3+3=12) level utterances respectively. The cost to cast such powers is their level.
Timeless Body: At 17th level, the monk ceases to age, and may take on the aspects of any age by resting.
Remove Soul: At 18th level, a monk may expend 7 Ki points to allow his soul to exit his body for 1 round/level. He may not travel farther than his speed from his body. In this state, he has a 90% miss chance but gains no bonus to AC from magical armor. He may not use Flurry of Blows, and none of his attacks deal damage. However, they must only hit an enemy’s touch AC, and he may deliver the effects of powers through these attacks. He is visible, but takes on a ghostly form. He may move through other creatures’ spaces. His body is considered helpless, but the monk’s Damage Resistance doubles and he cannot be affected by spells that require a Will save. He can end this effect immediately and regain his normal defenses whenever he is attacked (even in-between alliterative attacks).
Split Self: At 19th level a monk may expend 10 Ki points to split himself into two parts, as described in the Remove Soul power. However, he may also control the physical half of his self. He must split his total movement between the two forms. The physical half is no longer considered helpless, but does lose the monk’s AC bonus. The physical half may not deliver powers, but may use Flurry of Blows and attack independently from the soul half (this means that the physical half may use FoB while the soul half uses a power on the same turn).
Perfect Self: At 20th level, the monk is treated as an outsider native to the material plane (or plane of birth, for those not born in the world) when it would be beneficial to him. He also becomes a Half-Celestial or Half-Fiend. The monk also gains the ability to unleash a Ki blast for 20 Ki points.
Use common sense when altering these powers to the monk. Illusory effects affect only the target. No concentration is required to sustain these illusory effects.
Power List: (Number of Ki points if not already given) (Ki points=Power points)

What I need help with:
Ki point costs: Too low? Too high?
Numerical values for everything in the tables. How are the numbers for Flurry of Blows.
A built-in Ki power for 8th level.
Ki powers for all levels. The list I gave needs trimming and expanding. Feel free to create new powers, or use invoctions or soulmelds or manuvers or whatever. Needs more debuffs.
Balance: going for about tier 2 here.
What the Ki blast should be at 20th level.
Anything else you might find.
It is highly suggested you use a dice-rolling app with this fix, like https://itunes.apple.com/mo/app/parvum-draco-your-little-rpg/id389377607?mt=8 (this one). Seriously, you’ll roll a lot of dice. Presets are really nice.

Weapon and Armor Proficiencies: Monks are proficient with club, crossbow (light or heavy), dagger, handaxe, javelin, kama, nunchaku, quarterstaff, sai, shuriken, siangham, and sling. Monks are not proficient with any armor or shields; however, a monks robes can be enchanted as if it was leather armor.
When wearing armor, using a shield, or carrying a medium or heavy load, a monk loses her AC bonus, as well as her fast movement and flurry of blows abilities.
AC Bonus (Ex): When unarmored and unencumbered, the monk adds her Wisdom bonus (if any) to her AC. In addition, a monk gains a +1 bonus to AC at 1st level. This bonus increases by 1 for every five monk levels thereafter (+2 at 5th, +3 at 10th, +4 at 15th, and +5 at 20th level).
These bonuses to AC apply even against touch attacks or when the monk is flat-footed. She loses these bonuses she wears any armor, when she carries a shield, or when she carries a medium or heavy load.
Flurry of Blows (Ex): When unarmored and using an unarmed strike or a quarterstaff, a monk may strike with a flurry of blows. Instead of using the full attack action, the monk makes attacks at the attack bonuses listed in the following table:

Note: My houserules always include Full Attack as a standard action, so the class operates under the understanding that a monk can use FoB as a standard action.
Unarmed Strike: At 1st level, a monk gains Improved Unarmed Strike as a bonus feat. A monk’s attacks may be with either fist interchangeably or even from elbows, knees, and feet. This means that a monk may even make unarmed strikes with her hands full. There is no such thing as an off-hand attack for a monk striking unarmed. A monk may thus apply her full Strength bonus on damage rolls for all her unarmed strikes.
Usually a monk’s unarmed strikes deal lethal damage, but she can choose to deal nonlethal damage instead with no penalty on her attack roll. She has the same choice to deal lethal or nonlethal damage while grappling.

The enhancement applies to all attacks a monk makes, regardless of whether the attack in unarmed or not. Monks are, obviously, proficient with all unarmed strikes they make under any circumstances.

Mobility: The monk gains mobility as a bonus feat at 2nd level.
Evasion (Ex): At 2nd level or higher if a monk makes a successful Reflex saving throw against an attack that normally deals half damage on a successful save, she instead takes no damage. Evasion can be used only if a monk is wearing light armor or no armor. A helpless monk does not gain the benefit of evasion.
Bonus Feats: At 3rd level, the monk gains Improved Grapple, Stunning Fist, Combat Reflexes, and Deflect Arrows. At 6th level, the monk gains Improved Disarm and Improved Trip.
Ki Points: A monk of 4th level gains a number of Ki points and powers known as if he was a psion of three levels lower than his monk level. These Ki points are similar to the power points of psionic classes. He begins knowing three monk powers of your choice. Each time he achieves a new level, he unlocks the knowledge of new powers as shown in the table. His manifester level equals his monk level-3.
Choose the powers known from the monk power list. A monk can manifest any power that has a ki point cost equal to or lower than his manifester level.
The number of times a monk can manifest powers in a day is limited only by his daily ki points.
A monk simply knows his powers; they are ingrained in his mind. He does not need to prepare them (in the way that some spellcasters prepare their spells), though he must get a good night’s sleep each day to regain all his spent power points.
The Difficulty Class for saving throws against monk powers is 10 + the power’s level + the monk’s Wisdom modifier.
Maximum Power Level Known: A monk of fourth level has the ability to learn 1st-level powers. As he attains higher levels, a monk may gain the ability to master more complex powers as shown in the table.
To learn or manifest a power, a monk must have a Wisdom score of at least 10 + the power’s level.
A monk must hit with a melee attack to deliver offensive powers. He may deliver one power per hit. His only non-offensive powers are granted by his class. A monk gains a special monk-related power in addition to any other powers known at every level. They can use each of these abilities once per day without expending power points unless noted otherwise.
Still Mind: At 4th level, the monk may spend a single Ki point as a free action to gain a +6 bonus to one saving throw. This may be used a maximum of 5x/day
Slow Fall At 4th level, the monk can spend a single Ki point as a free action to use Feather Fall with a caster level equal to his manifester level.
Enchanted Blows: The monk’s unarmed attack is considered to be a magic weapon for the purpose of overcoming Damage Reduction. In addition, the monk gains a +1 enhancement equivalent to his unarmed strikes. This may be changed daily. For example, a monk could one day choose to gain a +1 bonus to attack and damage as if he had a +1 magic weapon. However, the next day, he may know that the party will be facing demons. He changes the enchantment in his fists to Bane (evil outsiders). This stacks with other enchantments of the monk’s fist. For example, if the monk has +3 flaming fists, he may add this on to have the equivalent of +4 flaming fists, or +3 flaming dragonbane fists.
Faster than the Eye: At 5th level, the monk may expend a single Ki point as a swift action to move his speed. He may not move any farther during the round. He may use this during a Flurry of Blows attack and use the remainder of his attacks on a different enemy now in reach. If he does so, no AoO is provoked. For example, if a monk is standing next to a dragon and has 4 FoB attacks, he may make two of them against the dragon, use the power to move his speed, and use the rest of them on a different enemy, perhaps a kobold minion.
Purity of Body: The monk gains immunity at 5th level to all diseases and poisons, including poison damage.
Wholeness of Body: At 6th level, the monk may use Cure Light Wounds at the cost of two Ki points. His manifester level equals his caster level.
Epic Leap: At 7th level, the monk may expend two Ki points to jump a total of 50ft. He may expend additional Ki points when using Epic Leap, adding 25ft to the jump distance for each one. It takes a full round (you may perform other actions) to travel 1000ft. The daily free use of this gives you 50ft extra distance. (Fun Fact: at 19th level, the monk can jump over a mile by expending most of his Ki points for that day)
Reserved for 8th level:
Abundant Step: At 9th level, the monk may expend 3 Ki points to use Dimension Door using his manifester level as his caster level.
Cosmic Blows: At 10th level, the monk’s unarmed strike counts as any alignment for the purpose of bypassing Damage Resistance. In addition, a monk may expend 5 power points to use Divine Power using his manifester level as his caster level.
Diamond Body: At 11th level, a monk gains immunity to sickness of any kind and Damage Reduction as a barbarian of his level-5. In addition, he may expend 5 Ki points to gain an invincible body for one round as a standard action. While in this state, a monk adds 300 to any Damage Reduction he has, +10 to his AC, gains a +20 bonus on all saves, cannot take standard, free, swift, or full-round actions, cannot move more than 10ft per round in any way, is blind, deaf, and mute, and cannot expend Ki. However, his outward appearance does not change.
True Seeing: At 12th level, the monk may expend 4 power points to use True Seeing using his manifester level as his caster level.
Morph Soul: At 13th level, the monk may expend 5 power points to change his abilities as if he was using the polymorph spell using his manifester level has his caster level.. However, his outward appearance does not change (he still gains size bonuses, special movement modes, etc).
Note: Polymorph is dangerous. Please use the GiantITP variant found HERE.
Diamond Soul: At 13th level, a monk gains spell resistance equal to her current monk level + 10. In order to affect the monk with a spell, an enemy spellcaster must get a result on a caster level check (1d20 + caster level) that equals or exceeds the monk’s spell resistance. All harmless spells bypass this SR (including spells that are harmful to certain creature types, like undead, but not the monk).
Quivering Palm: At 14th level, for 10 Ki points, a monk may set up vibrations within the body of another creature that can thereafter be fatal if the monk so desires. She must announce her intent before making her attack roll. If the monk strikes successfully and the target takes damage from the blow, the quivering palm attack succeeds. Thereafter the monk can try to slay the victim at any later time, as long as the attempt is made within a number of days equal to her monk level. To make such an attempt, the monk merely wills the target to die (a free action), and unless the target makes a Fortitude saving throw (DC 10 + ½ the monk’s level + the monk’s Wis modifier), it dies. If the saving throw is successful, the target is no longer in danger from that particular quivering palm attack, but it may still be affected by another one at a later time.
Adamantine Fists: At 15th level, the monk’s unarmed attacks are treated as adamantine weapons for the purpose of dealing damage to creatures with damage reduction and bypassing hardness. In addition, the monk may expend 6 Ki points to
Empty Body: At 16th level, a monk gains the ability to assume an ethereal state for 1 round per monk level by expending 7 Ki points, as though using the spell etherealness using his monk level as his caster level.
Tongue of Sun and Moon: At 17th level, a monk may communicate with any creature, independent of the language you speak. The monk also gains limited truenaming abilities. He may choose up to 12 levels of utterances. For example, he could choose Ether Reforged and Greater Word of Nurturing, both 6th level (6+6=12), or Caster Lens, Temporal Twist, Incarnation of Angels, 4th, 2nd, 3rd, and 3rd (4+2+3+3=12) level utterances respectively. The cost to cast such powers is their level.
Timeless Body: At 17th level, the monk ceases to age, and may take on the aspects of any age by resting.
Remove Soul: At 18th level, a monk may expend 7 Ki points to allow his soul to exit his body for 1 round/level. He may not travel farther than his speed from his body. In this state, he has a 90% miss chance but gains no bonus to AC from magical armor. He may not use Flurry of Blows, and none of his attacks deal damage. However, they must only hit an enemy’s touch AC, and he may deliver the effects of powers through these attacks. He is visible, but takes on a ghostly form. He may move through other creatures’ spaces. His body is considered helpless, but the monk’s Damage Resistance doubles and he cannot be affected by spells that require a Will save. He can end this effect immediately and regain his normal defenses whenever he is attacked (even in-between alliterative attacks).
Split Self: At 19th level a monk may expend 10 Ki points to split himself into two parts, as described in the Remove Soul power. However, he may also control the physical half of his self. He must split his total movement between the two forms. The physical half is no longer considered helpless, but does lose the monk’s AC bonus. The physical half may not deliver powers, but may use Flurry of Blows and attack independently from the soul half (this means that the physical half may use FoB while the soul half uses a power on the same turn).
Perfect Self: At 20th level, the monk is treated as an outsider native to the material plane (or plane of birth, for those not born in the world) when it would be beneficial to him. He also becomes a Half-Celestial or Half-Fiend. The monk also gains the ability to unleash a Ki blast for 20 Ki points.
Use common sense when altering these powers to the monk. Illusory effects affect only the target. No concentration is required to sustain these illusory effects.

What I need help with:
Ki point costs: Too low? Too high?
Numerical values for everything in the tables. How are the numbers for Flurry of Blows.
A built-in Ki power for 8th level.
Ki powers for all levels. The list I gave needs trimming and expanding. Feel free to create new powers, or use invoctions or soulmelds or manuvers or whatever. Needs more debuffs.
Balance: going for about tier 2 here.
What the Ki blast should be at 20th level.
Anything else you might find.
It is highly suggested you use a dice-rolling app with this fix, like https://itunes.apple.com/mo/app/parvum-draco-your-little-rpg/id389377607?mt=8 (this one). Seriously, you’ll roll a lot of dice. Presets are really nice.
