=== Unarmed Attack ===
At 1st level, a monk gains [[Unarmed Strike, Improved (Feat)]] as a bonus feat. A monk's attacks may be with fist, elbows, knees, and feet. This means that a monk may make unarmed strikes with his hands full. There is no such thing as an off-hand attack for a monk striking unarmed. A monk may thus apply his full Strength bonus (or Dex bonus, see Versatile Attack) on damage rolls for all his unarmed strikes.
