[QUOTE="Incenjucar, post: 5467029, member: 6182"] Unarmed Strike is perfectly fine, it just doesn't have real feat support or any properties to take advantage of except for [I]Off-hand[/I]. A longsword, for example, has the same damage and to-hit, but is [I]versatile[/I] and a [I]heavy blade[/I]. There feats available to an unarmed/ki-focus* monk are an Epic "add ki focus bonus to grab, grab on OA", "ki focus bonus to bull rush, uber bullrush push", "target loses resists on crit with Unarmed Strike (NOT when using monk powers)", "19-20 crit range with Unarmed Strike (not powers), "target loses resists when you crit with Unarmed Strike (not powers)" and then the incredibly bad "do d10 damage instead of d10 (not powers)." *Ki focus attacks are available to anyone using a ki focus, but that's usually going to be an unarmed monk so we'll just assume it as an advantage here. Unarmed strike is okay if you simply absolutely cannot find room for a weapon proficiency for a superior weapon, but otherwise... [/QUOTE]
