Insightful Attack (Combat)

You use clarity of mind and keen awareness to deliver your strikes rather than brute force.

Prerequisites
Wis 15, BAB +3

Benefit
When making a melee attack, you may use your Wisdom modifier instead of your Strength modifier on attack rolls.

Special
When wielding a weapon for which you have the Weapon Focus feat, this feat allows you to add your Wisdom modifier to attack rolls with that weapon.

A monk with this feat may spend 1ki point as a swift action to add her Wisdom modifier to damage rolls made with her unarmed strike or special monk weapons.

Author's Note: After taking the feedback I got here and some re-thinking, I've decided to give this a bit of revision. I'm hoping it's a little more balanced now.
