Line 157: Line 157:
The best {{Class|monk}} features often rely on Ki points, which you can only get more of by taking more levels in Monk. If you want to multiclass out of monk, most find that the opportunity costs are too high and you would have been better off just staying with monk. Taking a dip into monk grants you melee combat focused features that only work if you are unarmored, so will be useless on most characters. The monk's unarmored defense does not stack or otherwise interact with unarmored defense from a wildshaped druid, or a barbarian's unarmored defense. These reasons are some of the more prominent ones for why monk multiclasses are not common in tabletop. Larian has said they are making changes to monks in BG3. Depending on these changes, monk may become a more tempting multiclass target

Some entertaining monk rogue multiclass options include Monk 11/Spore Druid 1. Or Shadow Monk 9/warlock 3 so that you can cast [[Darkness|darkness]] on yourself and enemies blinding them, but not blinding yourself thanks to devil's sight [[Eldritch Invocation|eldritch invocation]] which allows you to attack with [[Advantage|advantage]]. Until we know what changes Larian makes to monk, it is difficult to recommend any Monk builds.
