[QUOTE="No Name, post: 5001528, member: 31462"] I've been playing around with the monk in the CB. To get everything to work correctly, I had to remake my character from scratch. Monk Unarmed Strike is no longer for sale in the CB's Shop tab. On my original character, I had deleted the non-magical version and replaced it with an enchanted one. The only way I found to get unenchanted MUS back was by creating a new character. MUS is not listed under 'Your Equipment' but it does start equipped on your main hand. I made a level 2 sample monk to test stuff. For this character's gear, I have an unenchanted Monk Unarmed Strike, a Rebounding Shuriken +1, and a Magic Ki Focus +2. My feat choices are Focused Expertise (Ki Focus) and Weapon Focus (Unarmed). From the Monk Debut article, under Implements in the second paragraph, "[FONT=MentorStd][SIZE=2][FONT=MentorStd][SIZE=2]You can also add its enhancement bonus to the attack rolls and the damage rolls of weapon attacks you make using a weapon with which you’re proficient."[/SIZE][/FONT][/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=MentorStd][SIZE=2][FONT=MentorStd][SIZE=2][/SIZE][/FONT][/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=MentorStd][SIZE=2][FONT=MentorStd][SIZE=2]With MUS equipped, all monk attack powers benefit from Focused Expertise and Weapon Focus. Melee Basic Attack also benefits from both. [/SIZE][/FONT][/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=MentorStd][SIZE=2][FONT=MentorStd][SIZE=2]Ranged Basic Attack with the shuriken also benefits from Focused Expertise (Ki Focus).
