Where are the Monk weapons?

[mayrc]

I played to act2 and never ever found a single monkweapon cept for a simple quaterstaff (wich are mostly magical Mageweapons). I didnt find a single one.... i mean not even an NON-magic one. Where are they?

Please dont tell me its another cut content?

[✙205🍉🐆→]

I definitely saw a regular Sickles

[F.O.A.M]

there are none. the quarterstaffs are useless on monks because they dont scale on dex at all, so unless you are STR monk using one is worse than using no weapon at all AND even then STR monk is still better lmao

A monk weapon is any weapon your monk has proficiency in, my duergar monk can wield warhammers as monk weapon for example.

Edit: except 2 handed and heavy weapons, sorry forgot to add that :)

I haven’t used monks but I always assumed they were like, hand to hand combatants.

Not quite. It can't have the Two-handed label.

In the blighted village there should be at least one sickle. Down in the weapon smith cellar. This could be augmented later with he masterwork crafting quest.

Ah nice - this does also work with proficiencies that don't come with the class? Always wondered about that when I was close to roll a monk (which I then didn't -.-).

Right, that was it. But it's really only about that label. A quarterstaff wielded in two hands still does count as monk weapon. (a bit confusing)

I haven't tested multiclassing in this game with the monk, but I assume so.

I always find it funny how western understanding of monks are as unarmed fighters when both Europeans middle age monks and the shaolin monks of China, both of whom we model our fantasy on, are trained in weapons fighting.

Theistic monks were proficient in short swords, shields, and other basic martial weapons, and Shaolin monks literally train from day one with sword and spear.

[mayrc]

wait you mean there are no monk weapons like nunchakus, Sai, shuriken, tonfa, or ANYTHING ist in game? So basically a monk runs around with hammers and clubs and daggers?

This cant be...... would be ridiculous lazy and bad. They have to be somewhere anyone maybe found a shop if they are not dropped?

So far torches have been usable (club + fire) and I've added a level of druid with plans to add at least one more level in druid (adding shillelagh+necrotic damage from spore druid) and the bonus attack monks get applies, been wondering about adding two levels of fighter to the mix for the action surge...

Quarterstaff has the versatile tag, meaning it can be wielded in 1 or 2 hands.

Monk weapons are attached to their wrists.

"at least one sickle" lol

That's not even true. any one-handed weapon you are proficient in count's as a monk weapon. If its a monk weapon, it scales with dex. Quarterstaffs being versatile is enough for the monk class feature to allow it to scale on dex.
