And honestly, I think giving Monks a good thing is better than giving them draw backs considering Xi is already the weakest magic. If anything, I think they even should have some limited magic resistance, other wise, what good is a fist of steel if someone can throw fireballs at you or put you to sleep.

:P You get that sexy Wisdom-bonus modifier to AC, though! Plus, with such high saving throws, most of the time you'll be able to just Will yourself through that sleep spell, dodge the fireball with lightning-fast Reflexes, take an Abundant Step to teleport directly in front of the magestrava, and rip out his beating heart with one punch!

Yeah, Monks are awesome. Seriously, though, a Monk in this universe who trained as a warrior (we cannot assume they all would; in fact, quite a few are probably simple ascetics) would be very likely able to dodge quite a bit of offensive magic. Insorcery? Maybe not. But definitely things like fireballs.
