As the PHB mentions, most weapons for monks can easily be reskinned for a more asian feel/look. To that end, here are said weapons with their Chinese / Japanese equivalents (or Shou / Kozakuran in the Realms). If there's enough interest I can extend the reskinned list to cover martial weapons...

Here's an entry for the Meteor Hammer/Rope Dart/Flying Weight: Meteor Hammer 5 gp 1d6 bludgeoning or piercing 4 lb. Finesse, reach, two-handed The meteor hammer is a length of slender chain around 3-4 yards in length, weighted at one or both ends with a metal sphere the size of a...

After much thought, I've decided to simple have the weighted chain be a reskinned club, and finalized several of the other weapons: Martial Melee Weapons Man Catcher 20 gp 1d6 piercing 6 lb. Heavy, reach, special, two-handed On a successful attack, a Medium or smaller creature is grappled...

Good grief, no, no reach. A Meteor Hammer, Flying Weight, or Mother and Son Hammer would have reach, two-handed and finesse (and probably 1d6 bludgeoning damage) but that would be a Martial Weapon, not a simple one. The other possibility would be just to reskin the Club as let's face it, most...

As regards dice in my family, I have some old and beloved GS dice and some black and white jumbo Koplow dice, but the bulk of my current collection is Q-Workshop dice (the clear-to-read black and white classic sets, and some rune dice sets including some oddly-shaped d4s). I like Q-Workshop...

Yeah, it's great news; I have some older GS dice that are very good, but when I purchased some of the ones manufactured by Gamestation, they were pretty shoddy. Here's hoping Lou gets things up and running properly again soon. If I'm not mistaken, this is his new website...

That was indeed true; however, Lou recently bought the dice and manufacturing back (in part due to the complaints regarding increasingly poor quality, IIRC) and is working on getting GameScience dice back to where they were in terms of quality and production. Jargogle

So, I wanted to plug the gaps in the PHB’s weapon entries, so got to crafting. I would appreciate some thoughts, especially on elements I haven’t added yet (such as the costs of the Mancatcher and Repeating Crossbow). The weighted chain is a 3-ft. length of lighter chain with a weight at each...

Someone has way too much time on their hands and too much desire to agitate. Combined with the deceptive thread title, I am not impressed.

The Couatl is in the MM according to the lists, so you get another choice. :) Edit: Gah, noticed someone else pointed this out already. Must remember to read rest of thread before commenting.

So, looking at the contents of the MM and the Monsters by CR PDF, the new MM really does seem to cover nearly all of the most quintessential monsters. That said, it obviously can't cover all of them, so many of us will no doubt be missing some favourites. If you could've only added 10 critters...

This. Never have enjoyed mat-n-minis play; find it much more freeflowing to go TotM.

Excellent, my day has started we'll!. Muahaha!

No, shuriken are basically darts, and paragraph one of Martial Arts specifically notes that Monk Weapons are short swords and Simple melee weapons without the two-handed or heavy properties.

Yet another fantastic resource, Roger; thank you. It'll be a real timesaver when random NPCs are needed.

Great sheet, thanks. Spotted some errors though: It should be "MAXIMUM" not "MAXIMUN" in Hit Points and Hit Dice It should be "Armor penalty" not "Armor penality". It should be "received" not "recived" in Valuables. It should be "ENCUMBERED" and "HEAVILY ENCUMB." not "ECUMBERED/ECUMB." in...

I personally like this Background, but isn't it short one Tool or Language Proficiency? I'd give it the latter rather than the former (ideally in whatever language is the equivalent of Latin in the campaign setting; ideal for researching old lore regarding the undead). Jargogle!
