Drunken Master (or Way of the Drunken Master) is a Subclass of Monk in Baldur's Gate 3. Drunken Master is a new subclass that features the ability to consume alcohol from their inventory. Doing so recovers Ki, triggers self-buffs towards Armour Class, and can cause enemies to be drunk, making them susceptible to the Drunken Masters' other abilities. Monks primary ability is Dexterity & Wisdom, their saving throw proficiencies are Strength & Dexterity and they have a Hit Dice of 1d8 per monk level.  They have proficiency with Simple weapons and shortswords.

With the unpredictable lurches of a tippler, you hiccup your way through battle, frustrating foes with carefully executed movements concealed beneath a façade of incompetence.

BG3 Drunken Master Progression

Level 3

• Cheeky Tipple: You are Immune to the negative effects of being Drunk. Once per day, when you drink alcohol, you regain half your Ki Points (rounded down).
• Drunken Performance: You gain Proficiency in Performance.
• Drunken Technique: Punch twice in quick succession and grant yourself an additional 3 m / 10 ft movement and the benefits of Disengage.

Level 4

• Intoxicating Strike: Hit a creature with your bare fists and possibly get them Drunk.

Level 6

• Leap to Your Feet: When you are Prone, standing up uses only 1.5 m / 5 ft of your Movement speed.
• Redirect Attack: When a creature misses you with a melee attack, you can spend 1 Ki Point as a reaction to make them attack a new target if possible.

Level 7

• Life of the Party:  Every time Intoxicating Strike hits, the monk gains Life of the Party, which increases Armour Class and Attack Rolls against Drunk targets. This effect can stack.

Level 9

• Sobering Realisation: Hit a Drunk target and sober them up by dealing bonus Psychic damage. On a successful hit, the monk also loses Life of the Party.

Level 11

• Drunkard's Luck: When you make an Ability Check, Attack Roll, or Saving Throw and have Disadvantage on the roll, you can spend 2 Ki Points to negate the Disadvantage for that roll.
