Making a monks attack magical

[Lasher Dragon]

A GM I game with house-ruled that weapon enhancements can be added to an Amulet of Mighty Fists just as they are added to weapons. Damn expensive, but as a monk, what else do you have to spend your money on?

Doesn't the monk's Ki strike at 4th lvl make his unarmed attacks considered as "magical" for the purpose of damage reduction already?

Read his post more carefully, he want various magic weapon abilities such as bane, shocking or speed. Not just enhancement bonus or the ability to overcome DR X/magic.

Ah yes, the infamous Brilliant Energy Monk. It can be done, if you dig through the forums some. Someone posted how to do it a while back.

Actually, now that I think about it, I wonder if the Bracers of Striking were the way to go about doing that . . . I'd have to check.

I guess it's been a while since I've looked through MoF. I'll definately check it out when I get home tonight. Thanks a bunch everyone. This should be just the thing to keep my artificer/monk in line with the rest of the warriors in the group.

Of course it will apply equally well the the shifter druid/barbarian that's been brewing in my head since I picked up Races of Eberon. I think I can get his claws up to 3d6 19-20x2 by lvl 9. That'll turn some heads at the gaming table. I'll need to sit down and crunch the numbers though to make sure I haven't missed anything or that I'm not a one shot pony. hehe.

But my current warforged artificer/monk will definatley be trying to make a set of these as soon as possible.

Thanks everyone

monk/kensai then you can get what ever you want put on your unarmed attacks.
+5 shocking vorpal fists of sharpness! just expend the Xp every level to add a +1 to your attacks. plus at 10th level you become a WARLORD! BUHWAHAAAHAAAHAAAA! Kensai is this PC you take when the DM says "ok youll be lucky to have a +1 weapon at 10th level as magic is very rare", youll be the only one running around with +10 magical weapons!

And then the DM gets upset and cuts off your hands.

Be careful about doing end runs around DM settings.
