Anishai is a Shadow Thief who works in Mae'Var's Guildhall, despite her distrust of him. Even though she is a monk, she administers training and testing for guild members looking to improve or prove their lock-picking and trap detection ability.

Well, the real question here is what is your name, darling? I could tell you that my name is Anishai, but that would prevent me from hearing the delectable tones of your name first.

Gameplay[]

This female monk-thief-assassin is putting on the sex appeal and flirting like a professional. She wants to talk. Will you delve deeper?

If Mae'var's guildhall is ever hostile to the party, then you'll probably have to face her in battle.

She is capable of outputting more damage than one might expect, as there's an effect constantly applied to her that gives her +8 damage. She only inflicts non-lethal (subdual damage) rather than actual monk fist damage. If she manages to get a party member to zero HP they will fall unconscious.

Anishai is scripted to use her potions for healing purposes and may apply an oil of speed at the beginning of combat.

Anisha is not properly constructed to have all the requisite abilities of a level 10 monk. She has no extra powers or monk innate abilities at all, and none scripted for use. Her fighting animation does use monk fist blows and kicks.

Notes[]

Mod content[]

Mods icon This section is about unofficial content that is only available via fan-made mods.

The Sword Coast Stratagems mod doesn't revise much on this NPC. It provides a new default AI script for better tactical combat behavior. It however only adds 1 pip in single weapon fighting style and does not otherwise add the monk abilities she could have as a level 10 monk class.

The mod will have anishai quaff a potion at the outset of combat, which is random, such as a Potion of Freedom.

SCS get rid of the random treasure in her inventory and replaces it with a random scroll instead.
