Playable Monk Class

This mod adds the monk class into the game, since Larian may take quite some time to release the official implementation. There was alot of underpinning in place for the monk, including a background tag, there are even a few dialogue options that reference you being a monk!

Like Larian themselves I ran into some trouble making perfectly faithful implementations of all of the monk abilities, so some artistic license was needed.

How to use this mod

Should be straight-forward. If its installed correctly, Monk will show up as a class option in the character creator when you start a new game. Ignore the "No Progression Description" errors in the class features list. The class abilities should work even with that error and I just havent been able to figure out how to add the description file it wants.

Implementation Notes

Monk Armor Bonus

Works up through +6 bonus, each bonus point had to be added individually...

Monk Unarmed Strikes 

These are implemented as special abilities that you will have unlocked in your hotbar, since I could not override the ability used for damage in the core unarmed strike. Unarmed or with a Monk Weapon equipped, you will have a bonus action unarmed attack unlocked. If you are unarmed, you will have a base action unarmed unlocked. If you have a ranged weapon equipped AT ALL, neither will be available. Drop the bow, son.

Flurry of Blows

For some reason you only see the second attack in the combat log if it lands. It is happening.

Slow Fall

Implemented as 1/10 damage from falling. All the time. So a bit better then usual

Deflect Missiles

Ok... this ability is WAY too complicated. Since I cannot pause and prompt user input when a missile has been caught, instead I just copied the effect for the Reflective Shell ability. This may be too powerfull. Oh well...

Step of the Wind

Acts as a special jump action with 2x range that also grants dash

Open Hand Technique

Each Open Hand Technique option is its own variant of the Flurry of Blows action. When you get this, the base Flurry of Blows is removed, so it doesn't clog up your action bar even further.

Four Elements 

Elemental Attunement and Shape of Flowing River are not implementable.

Monastic Traditions

Five Monastic Traditions are available: Four Elements, Open Hand, Shadow, Long Death, and Sun Soul

Tadpole Power

Since Larian has not said what the monk ability will be, I had to make one up. Hope you like. If not, give me a suggestion for something better.
