Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Suggestions & Feedback A polite suggestion for monk.

Heres my parsed results for my solution (giving monk 1 extra monk weapon attack or 2 martial arts attacks, four winds monk adding 1d4 elemental damage to a hit, and open hand obtaining an extra flurry attack if they spend a ki point(2). and halving ki points. thf gaining stat mod on each sneak attack dice splitting eldritch blast into 2
half damage rays for more interaction with hex/cloud of daggers). and having them scale regular attacks like a fighter so flurry only ever adds the one weapon or 2 martial arts(3 for open hand if they spend a ki) ki points only come up every other level instead of every level.
