=== Monk Weapons and Unarmed Attacks === | |||
A Monk who is using unarmed attacks to fight may hold items ready for use in one or both hands. A common thing to hold is a flask of alcohol for all those Drunken Masters out there. Somewhat less poetic is the practice of holding a potion in each hand ready for consumption. | |||
A Monk who is using a Monk weapon may use that weapon to deal damage with all attacks made in a Flurry of Blows or Echoing Strike. When a Monk is wielding a weapon with one or both hands, that hand is not available to hold another item. A Monk who is wielding a single Monk Weapon may make all the attacks possible in a Flurry of Blows with that single weapon no matter if it is a light weapon, a 1-handed weapon, or a 2-handed weapon. If a Monk chooses to use two Monk weapons they take no penalties for doing so beyond the normal penalties for Flurry of Blows or Echoing Strike. | |||
A Monk who is fighting with a nunchaku, a 1-hand Monk weapon, or a 2-hand Monk weapon that they are wielding with both hands may apply 1.5 times either their Str or Dex mod as damage, but do NOT increase their Wis mod to damage due to how many hands they are using on their weapon. A Monk may release and/or regrip their weapon between each attack when using Flurry of Blows or Echoing Strike. Doing so cnages the damage they do with each strike and is generally a headache, so this practice is not encouraged, no matter how cool it looks. | |||
A Monk using a light or 1-handed Monk weapon with one hand may pass it from hand-to-hand between attacks when using Flurry of Blows or Echoing Strike. Mechanically this has no effect in-game, but it looks so darn cool we include it here for sheer awesome. | |||
None of these benefits accrue when using any other weapon. If a Monk chooses to take a proficiency with a non-Monk weapon, they fight according to the rules for their base BAB. | |||
