I have a question about Monk, sorry if it's stupid! I don't know much about BG systems and less about DnD!
So I always kept hearing "unarmed attack" or something and I just assumed Monks could attack without a weapon equipped. But in all the footage the Monks have that bo staff equipped and attack with that. Is unarmed attack just a skill to use? So it is not possible to always just punch your way through fights? That was kinda my Monk dream
yes, you can stick with Unarmed Attack and punch your way through fights. Your fists start at 1D4 but get stronger as you level up - and you get an extra BA unarmed attack, at 6th level your fists are considered magical for overcoming resistance. Then with flurry of blows you can use Ki to make additional unarmed attacks.
Ah okay, thank you! So I can still do that, though I also don't mind the staff. I guess I'll just see what I end up with.
I saw that other weapons are also viable, but as Monk I'd just want to use fists or the staff.
