Monk Weapons apparently don't include Hand Crossbows

I tried to proc Martial Arts: Bonus Unarmed Strike with one and two Hand Crossbows, at short, standard, and long distances. None of them worked. I updated the page and marked it with ^{[Needs Verification]}. If anyone confirms it, you can delete the tag and this entry.

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). Discussion on r/BG3Builds: https://old.reddit.com/r/BG3Builds/comments/15ufo0v/

Previous KI Section

Ki Point 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 Ki Point, and gain one more every subsequent level. Expended Charges can be restored by taking a short rest, or, if the Monk's subclass is  Way of the Four Elements, at level 3 they can use  Harmony of Fire and Water, otherwise if the Monk's subclass is  Way of the Open Hand, at level 6 they can use  Wholeness of Body.

The table below shows (non-exhuastive) examples of the unique Ki abilities offered by each subclass.

Subclass	Spell Name			Description
	Blade of Rime	+ 2		Throw a shard of ice that deals 1d10Piercing damage. It explodes and deals 2d6Cold to anyone nearby. It leaves an ice surface.
	Harmony of Fire and Water			Recover half of your max Ki Points outside of combat. Can only be used once per long rest.
	Shadow Arts: Darkness	+ 2		Create a dark shroud that heavily Obscures and Blinds creatures within. Creatures cannot make ranged attacks into or out of it.
	Flurry of Blows: Topple	+ 2		Punch twice in quick succession and possibly knock the target Prone.
