📋 About This Mod

This is Laserllamas version of the Long Death 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 Long Death

While most monastic orders teach their students to live their lives to their full potential, those who practice the Way of the Long Death are obsessed with the ending of lives. Long Death Monks learn to channel deathly Ki to fuel their own martial prowess and are experts at using fear and other sinister techniques todrain the life force from others in order to prolong their own.

  • []Level 3: Frightful Touch (Wisdom Save, Target becomes Frightened), Necrotic Spirit (Unarmed can deal Necrotic, Resistant to Necrotic Damage, Advantage against being frightened)

    []Level 6: Sinister Vitality (Gain Temporary Hit points, whilst active you are resistant to Bludgeoning, Piercing and Slashing)

    []Level 10: Armour of the Grave (When you drop to 0 hit points, spend 1 ki to regain 1 hit point, each subsequent usage costs 1 additional Ki)

Installation

  • []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

Uses Compatibility Framework to work with other Monk Subclass mods also using Compatibility Framework

  • Tavern brawler causes the extra damage done to be bludgeoning (Unavoidable - hardcoded by Larian)
🤖 AI-enhanced — based on mod data

This mod adds the Way of the Long Death monk subclass as a standalone option, extracted from the Alternate Monk mod's 'Way of Reaper' feature. It's for players who want this specific monk path without the full Alternate Monk package. With 179 endorsements and 24,441 downloads, it has a modest but active user base, last updated in December 2023.

✨ Key Features

Adds the Way of the Long Death monk subclass as a standalone option.
Derived from the 'Way of Reaper' feature in the Alternate Monk mod.
Provides an alternative to installing the full Alternate Monk mod.
Compatible with the game's class system (presumed).

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Standalone design means you don't need the entire Alternate Monk mod just for this subclass.
  • Decent community traction with 179 endorsements and over 24k downloads.
  • Last updated in December 2023, so it's relatively recent and likely compatible with current game versions.

⚠️ Cons

  • Description is minimal—no details on specific features or mechanics beyond the subclass name.
  • Potential overlap or conflict if you also have Alternate Monk installed, since this is derived from it.
🎯 Is This For You?
For Baldur's Gate 3 players who want the Way of the Long Death monk subclass without the extra content from Alternate Monk. If you're a monk enthusiast looking for a specific subclass option, this is a straightforward add. Skip if you want a full subclass overhaul or need detailed documentation.
📦 Install:Easy· Under 1 minute

💡 Beginner Tips

  • If you're using a mod manager like Vortex, just download and install—it should handle load order automatically.
  • Make sure you don't have Alternate Monk installed simultaneously to avoid potential conflicts, since this is a standalone extraction.
  • Check the in-game class selection screen after installing to confirm the new subclass appears for monks.
