All of a sudden, you'll be Flurrying with that spear.3)  Again, if you use the DCv1, you'll have access to 2 other potentially good monk feats: Unorthodox Flurry and Ring the Golden Bell.  UF does what Pole Fighter does, but for any 1 handed or smaller weapon.  RtGB has the highest KEWL factor, though- it lets you use your unarmed attacks at a range!4)  As for VoP, I'm one of the GMs who see the RAW interpretation of the feat as excluding a Holy Symbol as violating the feat's internal logic.  What divine being would ask its most devoted servants to give up even a simple symbol of that being, one that costs less than most of the weapons an Ascetic PC can use, and especially since it potentially neuters the PC?  (That's all I'll say on it unless someone else starts up a new VoP thread.)</blockquote>
