📋 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.

📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid community traction with 167 endorsements and over 65k downloads.

⚠️ Cons

For Baldur's Gate 3 players who main Monk and want more variety beyond the vanilla subclasses. If you're a theorycrafter looking for new builds, the three new subclasses offer fresh mechanics. Skip if you don't play Monk or prefer minimal class changes.
💡 Beginner Tips

- 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.
