📋 About This Mod
It is well documented that the Way of the Four Elements Monk may feel underwhelming/underpowered to the other monk subclasses. The way the class is implemented in the PHB, the 4E monk is just grants a selection of spells that do not mesh with the rest of base class kit and no special implementation to make it feel unique.
This is my attempt at bringing its power level up to par, or at least more accurately allow the class to mirror its intended power fantasy. The Way of the Four Elements Monk obviously draws major inspiration from Avatar: The Last Airbender television show. In the show, the characters bending abilities are an extension of their martial arts techniques. So I decided to replicate that concept by allowing the four elements spells to be utilized with both of the attacks granted on level 5 (i.e. the 4e monk may attack and cast or cast twice).
It is a relatively simple change, but I think it can allow for some increased crowd control potential and damage output.
I modified the "check for extra attack" function to include the monk spells when activating the Extra Attack.
I am using this mod to increase that i am using to increase the amount of KI points. This helps alleviate the issue of the class being Ki hungry.
It also works with Monk - Way of the Four Elements Tweaks spells.
The mod over writes the CommonConditions.khn file.
