Does The Dex Bonus Apply To Way Of Four Elements Spells?

The DC for any spell in Baldur’s Gate 3 is equal to 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier. Equipment that increases your Spell Save DC also boosts your Saving Throw DC. These spells also trigger Martial Arts: Bonus Unarmed Strike. A better way to do this is to go dex and get strength via other means, such as the elixir of strength.

Several items can be worn, such as the “club of hill” and the Graceful Cloth. The Way of the Four Elements Monk Build for Baldur’s Gate 3 (BG3) provides a Dexterity boost and several Dex-based bonuses, making it likely your best armor option for most of the game. Ring of Color Spray is a useful addition for the next three levels.

The Way of the Four Elements subclass is the weakest Monk subclass, if not one of the weakest in the game. Monks can spend ki points on mystical techniques equal to their proficiency bonus, but cannot spend more ki on Elemental Techniques until later. The four elements monk can spend 2 ki points to “cast”, at lower tiers of play, water whip or unbroken air.

With the Martial Arts feature, you can add your Dexterity modifier and get 2 spells per encounter. Mold Earth is a useful item for the Way of the Four Elements Monk.
