Message: <blockquote data-quote="RonYon" data-source="post: 5344012" data-attributes="member: 17396">I thought the reason that a brass knuckle could be used in flurry is that unarmed attacks could be used in a flurry.I fso , well, a Gauntlet is listed under unarmed attacks in the SRD. If that isnt the right rational, I am confused, so please clue me in...Your emphatic post made me look at this further, and I have to agree.I actually wasnt clued in on the mechanism of Power Attack, which is the trade of I was comparing it to, having never played a  character who used melee as anything other than to horde spell slots rather than use them vs. low level opponents, or as a last ditch defense. Checking up on it, I see that up-sizing a weapon doenst compare, and  that pathfinders Power Attack seems better than WotC 3.5 version.I still see melee as a last ditch option, but Flurrying with a normal sized temple sword might be the right way to go.As to this:I hadnt figured on using Magical or master worked any thing to start with.We are starting at level 3 and either of those choices would mean using up more than 2/3rds of my starting cash.Thus I would use Siangham , as 1d6 seems better than 1d2.I expect he will carry Shuriken as well, as a cheap back up weapon.I was toying with using the Rough and Ready Trait, and maxing out Profession:Juggler, in order to get a +1 to throwing torches,juggling balls, cleavers, and wine bottles, as they would be tools of the trade. If I did do that, I would routinely throw the bottle(filled with Lamp Oil) followed by the torch.But Skill points are tight, so actually juggling these items during combat , while cool, is still cost prohibitive.Fun fun, fun but still there probably are better choices for a first Level  Monks Bonus Feat.Which of these would you chose?Both Dodge and Deflect Arrow seem like more practical  Feat choices, but not as much fun.</blockquote>
