So. There are few bugs... Sorry for informing about this.
1. Fists works like sorc fist. No bonus to dmg, number of attacks or thac0.

Like I said, I have to make a rearrangement to organize them... all the 20*2++ files of them. It was supposed to be easy 6*2 files, but that doesn't work in the game, so... goodbye sanity.

And yeah, I assigned the wrong HLA table. Fixed in the next, or you can actually name the "LUdragd.2da" to be "LU#gd1.2da"... and I didn't get to add the AC, ahh... will do this still today !

 

Garhm, the weapons... will see for tomorrow... here's the upload without them, and the AC fix, so it has he HLA table fix ...

Well yeah, I intended to let that go... but hmm... still trying to get the fists working.

K, now then... there's a huge flaw... and it's a reason why I took out the pellet weapon.

The flaw is that you need to equip a weapon on the first level to the class, to the first slot in your inventor, and remember it. The reason is that as that slot is used to enable the fist weapon, it doesn't work without a psuedo vanilla weapon on that slot. So your most likely weapon is that Quarterstaff. Now when the character levels up, he switches to use the other slot, and you need to use the first slot to have your slashing fist weapon re-enabled.

The files. Kill, me now. And then there's still the HP and AC issues.

PS.: I don't want to be outsmarted but maybe just add bonuses and tables from http://baldursgate.wikia.com/wiki/Monk? And I mean only Fist and AC table -

Well, I would kinda hate to make the kit more powerful still, it already has the vanilla monk  bonuses, and the Sword and Fist mod or whatever mod that gives the AC bonuses ... it's kinda over powered especially as the Sorcerer kit can also cast Shield,  Armor and other protective spells that totally blow out the natural defenses that come out with say Full Plate armors, even if they are magical +5's etc.

In the vanilla game; Say you put on the Level 3 spell: Ghost Armor, which sets AC to 2, taking the DEX bonuses out because the warrior have them too and ~15th level character having a +7 from the monk bonuses if included, gives you a total better than the Full Plate armor +5. And in the Vanilla game, there's no +5 Full Plates, just +3 on the very end(yeah, there's the specific AC bonuses for different types of attacks, but that's really a different thing, that can also be compensated using another invisibility spells for example).

I can do that but, should I really ? And that's just one spell, the Sorcerer has tons of them.

The HPs thing is a like, the kit has actually an increased HPs at the start due to the way it's started and it's actually awkward to reset without a particular ruleset and aimed CON bonus. So I left these out for now. 

 

The melee table is good reference though, so thanks for pointing towards it, will acclimate a part of it. Hmm, should I add increase the fist attacks to 4 ? The Thac0 is actually already a -4 at level 22, I would like to remove something to compensate...

And, I will include the custom sorcerer table to the HLA's.

Is there any chance for something new tonight?

Haven't got to test this... yet. No that doesn't have the altered weapons.

The AC definitely works, and if my calculations are correct so does the HPs... I got 75 HPs on a 20th level char, with CON of 15. But I am not sure... cause  have a HP alteration mod installed that steps on here.

 

And this char is created for rule 50 mod so u can count many OP enemies who can laugh at ur AC -50 because u have ~100 HP.

Well, nothing in the world can hit the AC -50, without the criticals hits. And the game is actually technically AC capped to -20. The problem with the enhancing his AC is that it makes the character better than the original monk in all the respects, and I know that you can solo the vanilla game with a Monk.
The vanilla game has Thac0 -13 monsters, Dragons. And no, I do not intent to make the kit to be the infinite Solo champion...
Should the OP monsters dictate that we should strive for obvious OP kits ?
K, I'll make a Hyper component.

Fists and rest Monk's abilities. Well, everything works. And works well - on level 50 with highest possible stats (25 all) we have "only" -4 AC when we installing Hyper Kit. The rest, well, works. Idk if we get extra speed but to be honest I've never notice if it works or not because speed higher than +2 IMO has no diffrence... 

Heh, well did you notice the sub enchantments to the AC ? That are there after the level 19... I made the first spells give pure AC, the later ones give attack type AC, that cover all attack types, so actually the AC is far higher at the hyper... so the AC at level 50 is actually quite low, some -12 without any armors, like AC 3 gauntlets or Ghost armor spell, which put it around -20's with normal stats, and it goes beyond the -20 cap the game normally has by 11 at level 50. So yeah, it's a power house AC build model.
I probably made a mistake at the end with the weapons... I should probably tweak them a bit, and change the table... but about the fist animation, the case here is, that the game has no better animation for it unless we use the monks avatar, and if I make the kit use the monks avatar, it won't then use the normal characters and it can crash with the caster armors, or casting animations.

 

So for now, I take the GJ and leave this be for a bit.

[The Imp]

Hah, I am taking this forward a bit at times. And it will lead to it's own mod eventually. Or whatever... mysterious as hell, welcome to the home of the Imp.
