[QUOTE="Artoomis, post: 5170362, member: 111"] It's unclear whether a monk's unarmed attacks gets the benefit of a ki focus for all attacks or only melee attacks. I'm hoping for clarification Tuesday, but, meantime, I think it works like the following - only whether only the first 3 or all 4 is not entirely certain: 1. Monks may use a ki focus as an implement. When they do so they follow all the normal rules for using an implement. 2. Monks may use any weapon with which they have proficiency as an implement. When they do so, they follow all the normal rules for using a weapon as an implement 3. Monks may channel the magic of a ki focus through a weapon with which they are proficient to deliver weapon attacks. When they do so, they follow the normal rules for weapon attacks except they replace the weapon's enhancement bonuses with those of the ki focus for both attacks and damage. 4. Monks may channel the magic of a ki focus through a weapon with which they are proficient to deliver implement attacks. When they do so, they follow the normal rules for using a weapon as an implement except that the ki focus' enhancement bonus, critical hit effects, and magic item properties and powers replace those from the weapon.
