Monastic Orders of Faerun v0.41 is now available for download.
Monastic Orders of Faerûn (MO or MOoF) rebalances monk progression in order to provide viability at both low and high levels. It revises the three existing monks in an attempt to make them all balanced at all levels of play. It also adds four new Monk kits, inspired by various monastic orders throughout the Realms. The current version of Monastic Orders (v0.4+) is designed to work with any of the released Enhanced Editions (BG:EE, BG2:EE, IWD:EE, EET). Many features of this mod rely heavily on the functionality added in the Enhanced Editions, and thus there are no plans to extend compatibility to the original games.
CORE REVISIONS This component revises the Monk and its two kits (Sun Soul and Dark Moon) extensively, moving them to the Thief class, overhauling their class features, and making use of a modular Fighting and Defense Style system. This component also updates Rasaad to use the new system. (All other components of this mod require this component to be installed.) EXPANDED RACE OPTIONS This component allow races other than Humans to become Monks. - Monk: Any race - Sun Soul: Human, Half-Elf, Elf, Dwarf, Halfling - Dark Moon: Human, Half-Elf, Elf, Half-Orc MONK MULTICLASSES (Yes, you read that right.) This component introduces 6 multiclass kits for Monks. - Fighter/Monk, Cleric/Monk, Mage/Monk - Illusionist/Monk (for Gnomes, if available) - Fighter/Sun Soul Monk, Cleric/Sun Soul Monk - Illusionist/Dark Moon Monk (Note that this component does not do anything unless you install the Expanded Race Options component of this mod, another mod that allows Humans to multiclass, or another mod that opens up racial options for all classes.) NEW KITS This component adds four more Monk kits to the mix. - Hin Fist Monks: members of the shorter races that rely on agility and discipline over size and brawn - Shining Hand Monks: protectors of the Weave, skilled at fighting arcane casters - Long Death Monks: sneaky assassins devoted to the idea of death - Broken One Monks: resilient devotees of Ilmatar who protect the weak If you installed the Monk Multiclasses component, you also get the following multiclass options: - Fighter/Hin Fist Monk - Mage/Shining Hand Monk - Fighter/Long Death Monk - Cleric/Broken One Monk - Fighter/Broken One Monk ITEM RESTRICTIONS PATCH (This is provided for mod compatibility purposes).
