Depending on your subclass, you may build a warrior-like, a spell-hurling one, or the next God of martial arts. While they may differ, a few weapons work well with each Monk subclass. What are monk weapons in BG3? Monk weapons are weapons that Monks are proficient in, such as Simple Weapons and Shortswords. To find what weapons Monks are proficient in, take a look at the \"Proficiency Bonus\" section on your character sheet. From there simply hover over the \"Simple Weapons\" and \"Martial Weapons\" tabs for a list of weapons Monks are proficient in. As Baldur's Gate 3 itself says, \"Monk weapons are those with which the Monk has Proficiency, and which do not have the two-handed weapons or heavy properties.\" Here's a rundown of what weapons and categories fit these conditions: One-Handed Versatile Clubs Battleaxes Daggers Longswords Flails Quarterstaves Handaxes Spears Hand Crossbows Tridents Javelins Warhammers Light Hammers Maces Morningstars Rapiers Scimitars Sickles Shortswords Slings War Picks Best weapons for Monks in BG3 The Monk's weapon versatility can be incredible, but it also makes it much harder to find a weapon to suit them, your build, and your preferred playstyle. So, you can use any of these, and they'll do a decent job. A few weapons are the best for Monks that you can obtain, but there are few because you'll often fight without one. Name Stats and Effects LocationSlicing Shortsword Deepflesh Slice: This attack will inflict bleeding if you have Advantage.\u00a0 Weapon enchantment plus one. Unlocks flourish and piercing strike. It can be purchased from Lann Tarv in Moonrise Towers. Markoheshkir (Quarterstaff) Arcane Enchantment: You gain a plus one bonus to Spell Save DC and spell attack rolls. Arcane Battery: You'll alleviate the arcane burden of spellcasting with the power of this staff. And then the next spell you cast won't cost a spell cost. Kereska's Favour is a Level 4 Evocation Spell. Unlock topple. It can be found at the bottom of Ramazith's Tower. The Blood of Lathander(Mace) Lathander's Blessing: Once every Long Rest, when your hit points are at zero, you regain two to 12 hit points. Teammates within a nine-meter radius also get one to six hit points.\u00a0 Lathander's Light: This will shed holy light in a six-meter radius. In combat, fiends and undead standing in the light will become Blinded unless they succeed in a Constitution Saving Throw. Damage: 1d6 + STR Modifier and plus three damage Bludgeoning Weapon Enchantment plus three Unlocks Sunbeam, a level six Evocation Spell. It can be found in Rosymorn Monastery. Best gloves for Monks in BG3 Now, I went with the Way of the Open Hand Monk subclass, which means, as the name suggests, most of my attacks use my fists, so a weapon isn't essential. If you're like me and went this route, you'll want to focus on items, like gloves, that enhance your unarmed combat proficiencies. If you need some suggestions, these are my favorite gloves, all of which will enhance your damage and unarmed combat proficiencies: Gauntlet of the Tyrant \u2014 Dropped by Enver Gortash in the quest, Get Gortash's Netherstone Enerverating Suffusion: Your unarmed attacks deal 1d4 Force damage. High Spellcasting: You gain a +1 bonus to Spell Save DC. Spell
