📋 About This Mod

Hit points

At level 1: 10 +   Constitution modifier

On level up: 6 +   Constitution modifier

Monks get 10 + CON Starting Max HP and 6 + CON Max HP per Level Up, Matching most other Martial Classes.

Note: New HP values are calculated when creating a new character, leveling up, and respec with Withers.

Overrides the ClassDescriptions File.

Monks are so squishy. Their AC is lower than most Martial classes and their health pool is smaller as well. They only get a d8 hit die when every other Martial class gets at least a d10. Except for Rogue who also has a d8 and hit die, but the Rogue is a very slippery class, and the monk isn't as slippery, especially when they run out of Ki.

✅ Pros

  • Direct fix for Monk's squishiness—makes them feel like a real frontline fighter.
  • Simple and clean: no bloat, just the HP numbers you want.
  • Recently updated (Aug 2024), so it's likely compatible with current game patches.

⚠️ Cons

  • Low endorsement count (21) means it's not widely tested—use with caution.
