📋 About This Mod

Monk

Level Map Values past level 12 don't work, and I am stubbornly hoping Larian will just change that with the official mod tools update. If, however, we end up getting official modding tools and this still hasn't been addressed, I will look into overriding them.

Martial Arts

No longer requires that you not wear armor or use a shield.

Ki

Bonus action Dash, Dodge and Disengage no longer require ki. Flurry of Blows, Patient Defense, and Step of the Wind (Dash and Disengage for a ki point) requires that you not wear armor or use a shield. Gain additional ki points equal to your Wisdom bonus. When you use Flurry of Blows, you gain a third unarmed strike at level 11 and a fourth at level 20.

To use Flurry of Blows, you must first use your action to make an unarmed strike or monk weapon attack.

Ki-Honed Senses

While not wearing armor or using a shield, your AC is increased as long as you have at least 1 ki point in your pool and are able to react.

Deflect Blows

When an attack would hit you, you can use your reaction to roll a Martial Arts die and subtract the value from the attack roll possibly causing the attack to miss.

Ki-Fueled Attack

If you spend 1 ki point or more as part of your action on your turn, you can make one attack with an unarmed strike or a monk weapon as a bonus action before the end of the turn.

Flowing Strikes

When you hit a creature with an unarmed strike or a monk weapon attack, your next attack against that creature has advantage if it is an unarmed strike.

Focused Aim

When you miss with an attack roll, you can spend 1 to 3 ki points to increase your attack roll by 2 for each of these ki points you spend, potentially turning the miss into a hit.

Inner Focus

You can spend a full turn meditating to regain all your ki. Meditating does not use your concentration, but it can disrupted like concentration and you have advantage on concentration saves while meditating. Once you regain ki in this way, you must complete a long rest before you can do so again.

Agile Athlete

You can use your Dexterity in place of your Strength for ability checks, Athletics checks, and jump distance. (Replaces Tongue of the Sun and Moon)

Diamond Soul

Beginning at 14th level, your mastery of ki grants you proficiency in all saving throws.

Additionally, whenever you make a saving throw and fail, you can spend 1 ki point to reroll it and take the second result.

Timeless Body

🤖 AI-enhanced — based on mod data

A comprehensive rework of the Monk class for Baldur's Gate 3, overhauling the three vanilla subclasses (Kensei, Drunken Master) and adding three new custom subclasses: Way of the Bow, Way of the Peerless Fist, and Way of the Sōhei. Popular with 167 endorsements and 65k downloads, last updated May 2024.

✨ Key Features

Reworks the three vanilla Monk subclasses: Kensei, Drunken Master, and Open Hand (implied by 'three vanilla subclasses').

📊 Pros & Cons

  • Actively maintained, last updated May 2024.

⚠️ Cons

🎯 Is This For You?

💡 Beginner Tips

  • If you're using other class mods, place this one lower in your load order to avoid conflicts.
  • After installing, check the in-game class selection screen to see the new subclasses.
  • Since the description lacks details, test each subclass in a save before committing to a playthrough.
