My monk doesn't kick or punch...

Eltharion1979

Hello everyone, I created a monk, never played with this class. But when the fight begins, he doesn't move like a monk. No kicking, no punching, he hits like he holds a two-handed weapon...I remember the old version of the game, the monks were kicking and punching. Any idea why this happen? Its a bug?

I remember a vague bug about it, if your monk ever equips a two handed weapon (cheat? eekeeper?) his animation gets bugged and he stucks with the two handed weapon animation. Did you ever use a two handed weapon, or equip one by any means?

Try ctrl+r on your character (with cheats enabled) it may or may not work.Or start a new char.

You aren't using a mod that allows a non-human monk, are you? Because non-human races that have the class cheated/modded onto them will use an invisible two-handed weapon as their attack animation.

Yep, I use a mod that allows me to have a half-elf monk.

Ok there's your problem. If you want the proper animations, you'll have to change it to the Human Male/Female Monk avatar in EEKeeper or some other editor.

Ah yes, there are no proper monk avatars and animations for races other than human, they use fighter animation and use two handed style in visuals. If they use regular punches they would seem like street brawling, two handed visual at least gives it a martial-oriental look. It was the same back in iwd2, too.
