Does the Monk's Ki Pool increase with level increase or does it stay the same size through the level up system?

Your ki pool increases every two monk levels

From the Ki Pool monk ability:

At 4th level, a monk gains a pool of ki points, supernatural energy he can use to accomplish amazing feats. The number of points in a monk’s ki pool is equal to 1/2 his monk level + his Wisdom modifier. As long as he has at least 1 point in his ki pool, he can make a ki strike.

    Note that the Ki pool can also increase by gaining levels in other classes, like the Ninja and the Stalker (see this question for more info). – Luris Aug 24 '17 at 07:59

    And remember, that increasing the wisdom modifier permanently (e.g. level gain) immediately increases the Ki-Pool, while magic items (e.g. headband of wisdom) grant the benefit after 24 hours. – Trish Aug 24 '17 at 10:49
  • so you get more ki points when you get a new special quality to your ki? – thomas Aug 24 '17 at 20:52
  • The special abilities are an extra, your ki points simply increase every two monk levels, stacking with ninja and stalker levels as pointed out by @Luris. – ShadowKras Aug 24 '17 at 21:38
