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?

[mayrc]

its realy strange.... if you dualwield monk weapons you looks the bonus strike. So i guess most are missing the point of a Monk weapon.

But its all ok i got my answer there are no traditional monl weapons in game. I guess its cut content since it was the last class made.
We got a ton of special arrows but no classic monk weapons like Sai, nunchaku, tonfa, shuriken, etc...... at least we have a staff. Equiping short sword looks strange on a monk because its the same animation like that of a warrior then. Doesnt give any monk-feeling at all.

You don't lose it.
You have to turn off auto-offhand-attack option.

Technically it depends on the Monk..

Western Monks in history used Staves and Daggers.. But Asian Monks used all sorts of Weapons.., Axes, Sickles, multiple Swords multiple Staves and other weapons though.

Sai, Nunchaku, Tonfa, etc... where not used by Monks, Mostly Japanese Peasants and Ninja used them.

Japanese monks even used Bows.

Are you gonna say it has no culture weapons when there's literally a katana in the game :lunar2019laughingpig:

I missed the single cultural weapon in the game than.

Thats kind of Dumb if true because they were not at all Monks.. They were Assassins not Monks

My level 10 monk does 50-86 damage while knocking an enemy prone without any weapon equipped.

The best builds for monks dont use weapons but if you do want to use them they're in the game, the tooltip on Monk weapons actually tells you, I believe, which weapons they are

You're implying it's meant to mimic the real world, it isn't. Paladins were a specific group of Frankish christian knights, not religious warriors in service of any other religion. Words can have multiple meanings in different settings.

Also the emergent of ninjas in Japan was closely linked with monks. Even the more secular koka ikki for example was heavily influenced by the yama-bushi. You can't detach the rise of the shinobi from Buddhist monks in Japan. That's like trying to argue that the rise of the Euopean knight isn't innately tied to Christianity.

Also the vast majority of ninja activity didn't involve murder for hire. They were experts in all forms of conflict deemed dishonorable to the samurai class. That goes from murder to sabotaging bridges, agitating peasants into rebellions, spycraft and forging communication.

Paladins were still religious knight attached a religion..

Faerun doesnt have asian, american, european continents and culture,
all is a fantasy mismatch, and is not earth.

So any/all details are whatever random inspirations and imaginations drawn.

They're not attached to Christianity which is a fundamental part of their identity. They're not just religious warriors, they're specifically Frankish Christian mounted warriors. I think I wrote that pretty clearly but let me repeat it. There many religious warrior orders, only one of them are paladins. The rest are other like Sant Sipahi or Sohei.

They were in service of the Frankish king, of course they were Frankish. Now they might not been born in Frankia but I never claimed they were. I was talking about citizenship not ethnicity. But pray tell which of the twelve peers wasn't Frankish according to you?

Its a big mistake by Larian Studios to treat all one-handed simple weapons that a monk can use as a monkweapon. swords hammer etc... and then making a magic quaterstuff that gives a +1 bonus on monk attacks but the quaterstuff is no monk weapon because its twohanded... it counts as onehanded when i wear a shield only. but with shield a monk loses a lot of boni. Quaterstuffs have been always monk weapons.

quarter staves are not two handed, they are a versatile weapon, and you get the full benefits of monk bonuses.. .

"In the French courtly literature of the 12th century, the paladins are the twelve closest companions of Charlemagne, comparable to the role of the Knights of the Round Table in Arthurian romance. "

Prolly most of them weren't ? Because Francia was established after the death of Charlemagne ?
