Of the classes in Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition<\/em>, none may have gotten more of a facelift in Baldur’s Gate 3 <\/em>than the Monk. Access to ki early on is a huge boon to its early-game power. But early ki is nothing without a good foundation.<\/p>
Choosing the correct race and ability score layout is crucial to the Monk, more so than any other class. Considering you have little more than your fists and stats, you need to make sure that your build is optimized right out of the gate if you want to be useful in the early few fights.<\/p>
Monks<\/strong> serve as powerful damage dealers and combat controllers on the frontlines. They use a limited weapon pool and no armor, but gain high AC thanks to their ability to add Wisdom to their Armor Class while unarmored. Using their Ki Pool, monks gain access to high in-combat damage and fantastic mobility in and out of battle.<\/p>
While the Monk is a hard class to use<\/a>, their high damage and potential for crowd control make them very enjoyable in burst encounters.<\/p>
