📋 About This Mod
Shadow Step and Shadow Teleport are simply inferior to their counterparts in their current state. Misty Step items allow you to use it as a bonus action whereas Shadow Teleport is normally an action. Paired with only being able to cast it in and teleport to obscured spots, there is simply no reason to use it. Open-hand monk is also just better than the other monk types. I always wanted to add some much needed improvements and the new mod toolkit allowed me to do just that!

This mod tweaks the Monk's Shadow Step and the Dark Justiciar Boots' Shadow Teleport in Baldur's Gate 3. Shadow Step no longer costs a bonus action, only 1 Ki Point, usable once per turn. Shadow Teleport now costs a bonus action instead of an action. A small quality-of-life improvement for stealthy monks.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Makes Shadow Step more efficient in combat, freeing up your bonus action for other moves.
- Shadow Teleport becomes more spammable, letting you reposition more often.
- Small, focused tweak that doesn't overhaul the class—just smooths out the action economy.
⚠️ Cons
- Only 20 endorsements—might be under-tested or overlooked by the community.
- Last updated in September 2024—could be out of sync with the latest game patches.
For Baldur's Gate 3 monks who love hit-and-run tactics and want more flexibility with their bonus actions. Also for anyone using the Dark Justiciar Boots who wants to teleport more often. Skip if you prefer the original action economy or want more substantial class changes.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure to place the mod file in your Mods folder and enable it in the in-game mod manager.
- If you're using other monk-related mods, test this one in a save before committing to a long playthrough.
- Remember that Shadow Step still requires you to be in shadows—positioning is key to getting the most out of the reduced cost.
