What i'm saying is that you can describe/picture/story-tell a character's unarmed strike however that pleases you, given the style and experience of the character.For further effects, you character has to take some other sort of action like:Trip, Grapple, Overrun, disarm, bull rash, feint, sunder, shield bash......and if your character wants to be good in any of those... There is an "Improved X" feat for any of the actions above.Certain (if not all) of the actions above can be described however you wish, just like unarmed strike, but they always have a given effect.For combinations/alterations of the above, or even some for new effect you can always talk to your DM and you can both find a way of "house ruling" something out, if the above do not satisfy your needs. (But before taking this step, make sure you understand how the above work, cause it's highly likely that you'll find what you want in there somewhere).As for the Monk... well yeah he does suck rules-wise. As for the Monk's fluff you can still take it wherever you wish... You do not necessarily have to go "oriental"...Other than being a Psyonist, the PW does not fit the profile of "a warrior classes with some martial arts touch"...Having said that, it's probably one of the most powerful martial classes out there.</blockquote>
