[QUOTE="Kingreaper, post: 5459074, member: 83870"] Okay, first things first: you've misunderstood one of your item properties. Blurred strike ki focus only works for multiple attacks. An area or close attack has several attack rolls, but is still only one attack. So the blurred strike ki focus isn't as useful as you seem to have thought. Now, onto your questions: Yes, you can. You can be attuned to only one focus at a time, but you can always choose to use your weapon instead of the attuned focus. Weapon properties that don't require you to hit with the weapon are fine for just holding it. So, keeping the staff in your offhand works fine. As mentioned above, a close attack is just a single attack, so you won't get two FoBs. Just one. +7-8 to attack at level 6. Well, a +2 weapon, 18 dex (+4), +3 half level=9. So I'm guessing you only have 17 dex? And haven't taken an expertise feat yet? Your to-hit is low for your level. But then, you are a dwarf monk. You are, if anything, underpowered. There's no rules on it. I see no reason to give a penalty for it, as there's no associated benefit. Hopefully your GM will agree. Sounds like a character builder bug to me. I really don't recommend iron soul if you're planning on using runepriest powers. You need strength to make use of any runepriest powers, so stone fist is likely to serve you better. Also, you need strength to use your dwarven thrower successfully. [/QUOTE]
