So ...
I guess we have good news for neprostoman.
Since characters in final build have option to make floating stats ... so githyanki is perfectly viable to make a good monk ...
Also ... maybe i dont see that well lately, but this seems like an armor!

So ... i would dare to say that armoured Monk will be a thing in BG-3 ...
Now this makes me wonder ... i see two ways to explain it:
- Either Larian decided to make it same as with Wizards ... if you are profficient, you can wear amor and there is no consequences ...
- Or, they decided to sacrifice some Monk features in order to get better AC with less dependence on Ability Scores ...
What is your thoughts?
What monk even loose, if they wear Medium armour?
I cant speak for 5.0 rules but in 3.0 if a monk is armored light/med/heavy they lose their Martial arts die, as well as unarmed bonus to attack and their movement speed. And their martial art stance. House rules who knows lol
Im stealing this from the Net.
"You can still use Flurry of Blows, because it is under Ki, not Martial Arts, and does not stipulate that you can't be wearing armor. This is great for a Way of Mercy or Way of the Open Hand monk that can add extra effect to Flurry of Blows." "Should I wear armor as a monk?
Monks normally don't wear armour, because it stops them using their martial arts ability. This enables them to make an unarmed strike as a bonus action, use the monk damage die for their level, and use dexterity for their unarmed strikes and non finesse monk weapon attacks."
So the way I read this is , the way of elements (caster type of monk) sure use armor if your going way of the fist dont?
