[QUOTE="ARandomGod, post: 2577735, member: 17296"] Doable? Not only doable, but arguably the best race for a monk in the game. A WF Monk gets full healing from Laying on of Hands. It specifically says so. The "normal" armor of the WF doesn't interfere in any way. It specifically says so. (Adamantine or Mithril body, on the other hand, do interfere). The Battlefist. ... A weapon that can be used with flurry and grants enhancement to natural attacks at the cost of weapon enhancements, PLUS it grants you a virtual Improved Natural Attack feat! It also adds slashing to your damage. There is some debate as to whether you can "intermix" flurry and nat attacks... Flurry gets badmouthed a lot, but it's functionally similiar to TWF< and IMO should be treated the same (although in certain circumstances it can stack... like a circumstance where you have a weapon, can you say Battlefist?) And you should be able to get your natural attack [i]after[/i] your BAB based attacks, as given in the rules for intermixing the two (nat attack(s) cound as secondary weapons, -5 to hit and .05X str to damage). There's the counterarguement to my interpretation, I use the same language to say that you indeed can only flurry with your unarmed strikes and special monk weapons, and you can add in TWF with non-unarmed strikes as given in the rules, and you can add on natural attacks as well, using the rules given for doing so (rules that do not meantion flurry, of course). Anyhow, that particular interaction is debated (and not just by me, ~_^ ) But as for the rest, WF is one of the best races for Monk hands down! Get that battlefist specailly made out of adamantine, and those tracery feats, and you'll be attacking with a silver, cold iron, adamantine, magic, bludgeoning and slashing weapon! [/QUOTE]
