📋 About This Mod
If you like this mod, a thumbs up/endorsement/FotM vote goes a long way towards encouraging further mod development. Chantry Monk Specialization-Martial Arts Unarmed Combat Version 1. 2 -- 09/26/2010 Slightly increased base damage, Dexterity damage modifier, and attack speed of unarmed combat (Hidden Fist weapon). Increased unarmed combat base armor penetration from 6 to 10. Changed overlapping Animation IDs. NPCs should no longer perform combat animations as part of their ambient animation sequence. Ironskin: Reduced Constitution bonus formula to 10% of Willpower modifier. (Was 5+10% of Willpower modifier.) Martial Training: Altered attack bonus formula to 10 + 10% of Willpower modifier. (Was 5 + 20% of Willpower modifier.) This should provide a better hit rate in the early game and a slightly lower attack bonus at very high levels of Willpower (60+). Martial Training: Increased delay of deathblow checks in Martial Training script in an attempt to cut down on repeat deathblow animations after an NPC has already been deathblowed. Snap Kick: Reduced attribute requirement to 18 Dexterity. (Was 22 Dex.) --- As always, please fully uninstall the old version before installing the new one. --- Version 1. 1 -- 09/21/2010 Removed \"Test CWep Fist - Dragonbone\" item from items granted by Carthus when becoming a monk in the Harrowing Fade. NOTE: This item was never intended to exist in the final version, but the item\'s existence in game should have no real effect on the game. If you\'ve already installed Version 1. 0, you can simply deleted \"Test CWep Fist - Dragonbone\" from inventory and do not need to install the new version. ***NOTICE LEARN MARTIAL TRAINING AS ONE OF YOUR FIRST SKILLS AND ALWAYS KEEP IT ACTIVE!! PLEASE CHECK THE FAQ BEFORE PLAYING THE GAME! Please see the Readme.pdf included in the package for ability descriptions and other mod details. Scroll to bottom for changelog.

NOTICE*** Note on custom tints: The custom monk robes used in this mod use the Chantry Robe texture, but are re-colored variously using custom tints. Because the game doesn\'t include a tint map file for the Chantry Robe (among several other base items), a custom tint map is required. Nezroy has a great custom tint map package available along with his Universal Dye Kit mod. I highly recommend the UDK itself, but if you want to see the custom tints on the monk robes in this mod, at the very least you need the file nez_tintpak_v3. Download and extract the nez_tintpak.erf into your DAO override directory ({my documents}\\BioWare\\Dragon Age\\packages\\core\\override). The UDK mod and the tintpak file are available here.
