Actually, I was going to reply to that, but was busy at work. I have a few minutes now, so I'll sound off on it. And my thoughts...sure, I'd allow it. In fact, I think it might eliminate a lot of the aspects of a monk that make many people consider them to be 'underpowered'. Though, I would...

QFT Champions/Hero is "the" most flexible game system in the world (yes, more so than GURPS and FUDGE, imo). You describe what you want your character to be able to do, I can show you how you can spend your points to do it. Now, you may not have enough points to actually buy all of the powers...

Lejendary Adventures (if I'm remembering correctly) has WAY too complicated character generation for a one shot. I think it took me a week to make one character. No way I'm investing that much time into pre-genning characters for a one shot. (But I might be thinking of the wrong game system)...

Yes, but any game with two versions of Martial Arts titled... How to Make People Stop Living With Your Fist or That Whacky Bruce Lee Crap HAS to be played...I'm sorry, it just has too.

I know what you're going for, and unfortunately I just don't think there is an acceptable way to word that poll and achieve the results your thinking of... It would almost have to be as blatant as ... 1. Yes, anyone who disagrees with me is an idiot who can't read 2. No, don't be a moron...

I can absolutely understand how someone could read it differently than me and disallow INA for Monks. However, I also believe that they are completely mistaken. I only state that because there is a difference between: 1. Believing an opposing argument has no validity and 2. Understanding...

I will agree 100% that they fall into a grey area. However, I do not feel that the same grey area should be used to disallow something when the wording of the attack pays specific attention to intentionally "allowing" extra things (spells, feats, effects, enhancements, combat abilities, special...

I can understand why and how someone would read the rule in such a manner as to disallow INA for Monk's. At the same time that I can understand it though, I absolutely believe they are wrong.

Irrelevant, since I have established, by my own understanding of the rules cited with example, that I feel that a Monk's Unarmed Strike fits within the subsection of "Natural Weapon". However, even if I did not feel that way, nothing about the reading of "spells and effects" leads me to...

Thanks, I've missed that for a long time. However, it doesn't apply here since an Unarmed Strike is also considered a light weapon and light weapons cannot deal 1-1/2 strength damage.

Ah ha, and you have landed PRECISELY on why I do NOT think the "natural weapon" prerequisite excludes Monks. The terms are used interchangeably in so many places, AND, there is text in place to specifically guide the reader to apply a broad array of end results to a Monk's Unarmed Strikes...

I'm not familiar with that rule, where could I read about it?

Per the question posed by the Poll... The Book of Nine Swords would not be valid for determining the allowability of Improved Natural Attack for Monks in this poll. I'm sorry if that seems nitpicky, however after days of refining the question this particular thread is discussing the intent of...

I guess the difference to me is that one is exclusionary, one is not. For instance, it would be somewhat strange, but I could say, I like fruit or apples for breakfast. Or, I could change it up and say I like fruit or bread for breakfast. In the first case, apples is a subsection of fruit. In...

*nods* I understand that point of view, but there's also nothing to say a feat is not an effect. And as I said before, the rules are clear (to me) that the monk's unarmed strike is broadly defined to be affected by as many "things" as possible.

From Magic Weapon You can’t cast this spell on a natural weapon, such as an unarmed strike (instead, see magic fang). A monk’s unarmed strike is considered a weapon, and thus it can be enhanced by this spell. This tells me that an unarmed strike is a form of natural weapon, it just has some...

Well (and I'll use the SRD, since it's easily handy and quotable to me right now)...when I read And then I also read It just seems crystal clear to me that the Monk's Unarmed Strike is a "Slap or Slam" Natural Weapon and that the first statement about enhancing or improving it is meant to be...
