Thri-Kreen monk with Multiweapon fighting?

pokedigimaniac

First Post
Quick question - can a Thri-kreen monk with Multiweapon fighting use its unarmed strike as a 'weapon in each hand' as per the Multiweapon Fighting feat (MM304)? As in, could it make one unarmed strike with each of its four limbs as per the feat?

Anything else I should know about Thri-kreen monks, besides their ungodly ability to jump? :)

No. "Unarmed Strike" is a single weapon - regardless of how many arms, legs, or psuedopodia you may have.

Similarly, a normal human cannot use an unarmed strike as his main hand attack and as his off-hand attack - though a human with a sword in one hand and a shield in the other can declare an off-hand unarmed strike (since he can still kick and headbutt and elbow drop, etc.).
 

Though Multiattack from the Monster Manual helps if the Thri-Kreen is using his natural attack (claws) rather than his unarmed strikes.

Multiattack [General]
Prerequisite: Three or more natural attacks.
Benefit: The creature’s secondary attacks with natural weapons take only a -2 penalty.
Normal: Without this feat, the creature’s secondary attacks with natural weapons take a -5 penalty.

Improved Multiattack [General]
Prerequisite: Three or more natural weapons, Multiattack
Benefit: The creature’s secondary attacks with natural weapons have no penalty. They still add only one-half the creature’s Strength bonus, if any, to damage dealt.
Normal: Without this feat, the creature’s secondary natural attacks have a -5 penalty (or a -2 penalty if it has the Multiattack feat).
