📋 About This Mod

This is a Laserllama subclass as Implemented in my mod Alternate Monk.

I've removed all references to the other parts of Alternate Monk so it will work with the vanilla monk and subsequently other subclasses.

Way of the Hurricane

Where most traditions of martial arts focus on quick strikes and elusive movements, disciples of the Hurricane technique master mighty weapons. These Hurricane Monks wield their heavy weapons to great effect. On the battlefield they become tempests of steel, cutting down all who stand against them.

Level 3: 

  • []Whirling Strike Spell (AOE melee attack surrounding the user for 1 Ki point), 

    []Heavy Warrior (Gain Proficiency with all weapons with the Heavy property, they count as martial arts weapons, when wielding a heavy weapon you have advantage against being restrained or slipping), 

    []Tempestuous Strike (When wielding a heavy weapon Whirling Strike doesn't cost a ki point and you can use Strength instead of Dexterity for the rolls)

Level 6:

  • []Crushing Counter (When wielding a heavy weapon and are hit with a melee attack you can make a melee weapon attack against the creature, on a hit its speed is set to 0 in addition to the melee damage)

Level 10:

  • []Buffeting Winds (When you hit a creature with a heavy melee weapon attack, you can spend 1 ki to force it to make a saving throw, on failure you can either force it back 5m or make it fall prone) - In Addition Whirling Strike can do additional thunder damage equal to 1 martial arts die for a Ki Point

Installation

Requires:

  • []ImprovedUI (for subclass icon)

    []Compatibility Framework If you wish to use other subclasses using this (optional)

    []BG3SE OR BG3 Mod Fixer

I recommend installing using BG3MM

Compatibility

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Solid community backing with 172 endorsements and over 56k downloads—clearly a go-to for heavy weapon monks.
  • Standalone design means you don't need the full Alternate Monk mod just to get this subclass.
  • Focuses on heavy weapons, which is a niche playstyle that adds variety to the monk class.

⚠️ Cons

  • Last updated in December 2023—might not be compatible with the latest game patches, so check before installing.
  • Only one subclass added—if you want more monk options, you'll need to look elsewhere.
🎯 Is This For You?
For Baldur's Gate 3 players who want to play a monk with heavy weapons, a playstyle not typically supported by the base class. If you're a fan of Laserllama's homebrew or just want a fresh monk build, this is worth a shot. Skip if you're not interested in heavy weapon monks or prefer more comprehensive class mods.
📦 Install:Easy· Under 1 minute

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Since this is a standalone mod, you can install it alongside other monk mods, but check for conflicts if you use mods that alter the monk class.
  • Make sure to enable mods in your game settings and use a mod manager like BG3 Mod Manager for easy installation.
  • If you're using other class mods, load order might matter—place this one after any mods that change base classes.
