How do people feel about the following house rule:
Prerequisite: Improved Unarmed Strike, use of monk weapon
If someone makes a full round attack action with a monk weapon they may sacrifice attacks at their lowest attack bonus to roll unarmed damage and add the result to a corresponding number of attacks with higher attack bonus.
Example 1: Ember (Str 14) has three attacks with a dagger at +11/+8/+5. She sacrficies her +5 attack and rolls two attacks, one at +11, one at +8. Both hit. Her +11 attack will do 1d4 (dagger) + 1d8 (unarmed) + 2 (Str) damage; her +8 attack will do 1d4 (dagger) + 2 (Str) damage.
Example 2: Now 20th level, Ember (Str 20) has 7 attacks with a quarterstaff (5 for monk, 1 for Flurry of Blows, one for two weapon fighting) at +20/+20/+20/+17/+14/+11/+8. She sacrifices the +14, +11, and +8 attacks. In addition to quarterstaff and strength damage on her three +20 attacks she will add 1d20 unarmed damage. The +17 attack will only do quarterstaff and strength damage.
