The Tavern Brawler Monk is one of the deadliest builds in Baldur’s Gate 3, and yet most players don’t even know it exists. That’s because the Tavern Brawler isn’t a Monk subclass, but rather a unique combination of feats, ability scores, and subclass choices that create an unstoppable melee monster when combined correctly.
OP Tavern Brawler Monk – Construction Guide [ Baldur's Gate 3 ]
Since the "subclass" technically doesn't exist, there are no in-game tutorials or tips that can help you create a Tavern Brawler Monk. You'll need a lot of gaming knowledge or a guide like this to get the most out of this build. Here's how to create and customize a Tavern Brawler Monk in Baldur's Gate 3.
Before diving into an exact build guide, it's important to understand what a Tavern Brawler Monk is and why the build works. Following a literal guide will allow you to create an OP monster, but understanding the build will allow you to customize that monster to your own liking and adapt to any situation the game throws at you.
The entire foundation of this Monk build is based on one Feat: Tavern Brawler. This Feat adds your Strength Modifier twice to all attack and damage rolls for unarmed strikes, improvised weapons, and thrown objects.
