Editing Talk:Monk

== The monk damage and ki points are incorrect ==

Monks deal 1d6 damage with unarmed in BG 3 and start with 2 ki points
: Thanks - I've updated the Ki Points and Martial Arts Damage for levels 1-4 based on the footage we've seen thus far. (Starts at 1d4, then upgrades to 1d6 at level 3.) [[User:Majesstic|majesstic]] ([[User talk:Majesstic|talk]]) 23:03, 20 July 2023 (CEST)

== Duplicate Class Features ==

Way of Open Hand is currently listed as receiving the Ki Resonation Feature at both level 9 and level 11. According to the Way of Open Hand page, it comes at level 9.

== Monk Ki DC Calculation ==

Possibly a bug, but Ki DC calculation seems to be (10 + Dex/Str Modifier) instead of (8 + Proficiency Modifier + Wis Modifier).

== Previous KI Section ==

{{R|type=ki}} is a resource specific to Monk. It is the magic that flows through all living beings, and is used to cast certain abilities that the Monk class can learn. 

At level 1, the Monk starts with 2 charges of {{R|ki}}, and gain one more every subsequent level. Expended Charges can be restored by taking a short rest, or, if the Monk's subclass is {{SmIconLink|Class Monk Four Elements Hotbar Icon.png|Way of the Four Elements}}, at  level 3 they can use {{SmIconLink|Spell HarmonyOfFireAndWater.png|Harmony of Fire and Water}}, otherwise if the Monk's subclass is {{SmIconLink|Class Monk Open Hand Hotbar Icon.png|Way of the Open Hand}}, at level 6 they can use {{SmIconLink|Wholeness of Body Icon.png|Wholeness of Body}}.
<!--TODO: TRY AND ASK TO AUTOMATE POPULATING THIS TABLE-->
