📋 About This Mod
Mod Manager: BG3 Mod Manager
Requirements: Baldur's Gate 3 Mod Fixer
3rd Level: Implements of Mercy
You gain proficiency in the Insight and Medicine skills.
3rd Level: Hands of Healing
At 3rd level, your mystical touch can mend wounds. As an action, you can spend 1 ki point to touch a creature and restore a number of hit points equal to a roll of your Martial Arts die + your Wisdom modifier.
When you use your Flurry of Blows, you can replace one of the unarmed strikes with a use of this feature without spending a ki point for the healing.
3rd Level: Hand of Harm
At 3rd level, you use your ki to inflict wounds. When you hit a creature with an unarmed strike, you can spend 1 ki point to deal extra necrotic damage equal to one roll of your Martial Arts die + your Wisdom modifier. You can use this feature only once per turn.
6th Level: Physician's Touch
Starting at 6th level, you can administer even greater cures with a touch, and if you feel it's necessary, you can use your knowledge to cause harm.
When you use Hands of Healing on a creature, you also end one disease or one of the following conditions affecting the creature: blinded, paralyzed, poisoned, or stunned.
When you use Hands of Harm on a creature, you subject that creature to the poisoned condition for 1 turn.
9th Level: Flurry of Healing and Harm
You can now mete out a flurry of comfort and hurt. When you use Flurry of Blows, you can now replace each of the unarmed strikes with a use of your Hands of Healing, without spending ki points for the healing.
In addition, you can use Hand of Harm with that strike without spending the ki point. You can still use Hands of Harm only once per turn.
11th Level: Hand of Ultimate Mercy
Your mastery of life energy opens the door to the ultimate mercy. As an action, you can touch the body of a fallen ally and expend 5 ki points. The ally then returns to life, regaining a number of hit points equal to 4d10 + your Wisdom modifier.
Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest.
