Hi, I just DL the latest Co8 mod, and applied it to my game. I seem to be running the game fine, but there are 2 weird problems. One, at the staring vignette I appear naked. Two, I choose Power Attack Feat for my Monk No matter what weapon I equip, or even if I use my fist, Power Attack does not appear as an option for my char. Only stunning fist. I was hoping to make a trip, quickdraw, power attack build using the 2H staff. I even tried equipping a non-proficient weapon...still no dice. Is this a bug with my installation?
OK I did a complete clean re-install of everything. Great changed to the MoD BTW I'm very impressed with the new starting area. It would appear that Power Attack just is not an option for a Monk! The game seems to treat the quarterstaff as a light weapon, but **only** when your monk uses. Give the quarterstaff to a Fighter, and he gets 2H bonus and Power Attack. This is pretty naff since it gimps the monk even more than already, and ruins the point of getting trip. The Rules state that quarterstaff *can* be treated as 2 light weapons for the purpose of flurry, not that they *must* use it like this at all tims. Also if it is treated as 2 light weapons, how come I don't get the extra off-hand attack? Is there any way I can change this in the text setup files; I'd be grateful for any pointers. Interim Solution ========== As is I'm going to take 1 level of fighter and the quick draw fear to "force" it to use the staff the way I want....
Hi, When I mean "its not an option", you can take it when you make the character. You need STR 13+, it won't let you pick things you don't have the stats for. However, once you start the game, there's no power attack option available where it should be in the combat options.
2 reasons regarding monks and Power Attack: 1) You need +1 BAB so you can deduct the point and convert that point to damage 2) the quarterstaff should certainly be treated as a light weapon when the Flurry of Blows option is selected. However, it might work fine when you charge or deselect that option.
Hi, My guess is that you are correct, it allows you to select, but you can't use since you have BAB of 0. I can't verify since I took a level of fighter. Incidentally, I took 2 handed fighting. I assumed with flurry on, and it being treated as a light weapon, I'd get an extra off-hand attack....I don't. Can't find any Kama either to see if that would work.
Ah, I found the solution to the Monk&TWF issue some time ago. Simply put a monk weapon in his off-hand. Then, at 5th level+, start crafting some buffs on it.
Hi, thanks for the reply. The only monk weapon I can find is the quaterstaff, it auto equips it as a 2H weapon. It's light for purposes of flurry, but still won't give you the off hand attack. I will go to Verbabonc soon, maybe there are some 1H monk weapons I can get there or is there a way to make the staff as flexible as I want? Cheers.
