[QUOTE="Gilwen, post: 1012954, member: 1871"] Looking at the monks write up I see that when she is unarmed there is no such thing as an off hand, therefore couldn't apply TWF when using her unarmed attacks because the book states that there isn't one when unarmed. One would think it applies to the monk weapons as well, but there is no written rule that says that the text in the Unarmed Strike section applies to the monks weapons. Let's assume that you can use TWF with the monks FoB for armed attacks. Lvl 1 monk unarmed with STR of 10 gets -2/-2 unarmed. Lvl 1 monk with a quarterstaff with STR 10 get's +0/+0 (since the TWF reduces the penalty and the penalty is -2 I reduced it 0, I suppose one could argue that is should be +0/+4) Why when the whole concept for the monk is unarmed combat is she better at armed combat when TWF is allowed to stack with FoB? What happens when the monk reaches 5th level when the penalty becomes -1 and at 9th when the penalty becomes 0? Does the feat become useless? Or does it start giving you bonuses? Bryan [/QUOTE]
