D&D 3E/3.5 [3.5] Monks + Magic Fang

[Lotus]

Magic fang now works on Monk unarmed strikes. But the description of Magic Fang says it works on a single natural weapon, and lists a fist as an example.

How many such "weapons" are required for a monk to do a full 5-attack flurry of blows?

I'm thinking that it's just two: one primary for the standard attack sequence, and one secondary for the extra attacks granted by flurrying. Much like TWF.

This theory is supported by the price of the Amulet of Mighty Fists: two weapon enchantments in a single item, so the price of one of them is doubled.

With that logic in mind, two casts of Magic Fang, or Greater Magic Fang with the larger bonus option, should cover the whole flurry attack sequence.


Does this make sense?

It would only take one casting.

"A monk's unarmed strike is treated both as a manufactured weapon and a natural weapon..."

Note the singular. A monk's entire body is a weapon. Don't think of it as punching, or kicking, or whatnot.

The real reasons AoMF is more expensive is a) because of Druid's animal companions/Wild Shapes with multiple natural weapons, and b) because you get full str bonus on all of your attacks.

Magic fang now works on Monk unarmed strikes.

Was there ever a reason to believe that it didn't work on a monk's unarmed strikes before?

The real change is that Magic Weapon and Greater Magic Weapon now work on a monk's unarmed strike.
