At 5:59, you can see that the monk has 3 KI points.
He is level 2, which can be confirmed by the hitpoints he, and the companions have (17).

So that is more than he would have in tabletop. I think they doubled the amount of KI points to two times the monk level per short rest, which would be quite a big power boost.

With three short rests (Bard), that would give you 96 KI points per long rest at level 12.
So 96 attempts at stunning strike etc.
Quite strong!

Monk weapons are now everything you have proficiency in, so you can use Greatswords with monks (and GWM?), so a lot more magic item options for them too

I like monks now, they will have a big niche as "boss killers", with high movement speed, and a good chance that you will stun the boss with one of your attacks, so that your other companions can get a couple "free" rounds which should be enough to kill most bosses
