Monk weapons

[MattStriker]

Kamas, sai, nunchaku...Just out of curiosity...has anybody ever found a use for them?

[JacobTheViking]

There is a Super power Azatas get that allow you to use any weapon. Does that help anser your question?

[Astral Projection]

Nope. There just aren't many great weapons plus you have to take Exotic to even use them.

On a related note - just did a Midnight Isles run with a pair of Quarterstaff Master monks for my tanks. They destroyed stuff.

There are many good monk weps that can be good for non-weapon focus finesse build. Especially if you are swarm for example and TWFing them, so you need like 12 good finesse weps, some of them are monk weps, so monk dip is gold for it.

When I play a monk I still don't use them, usually because fists are almost always better.

I like the idea of the staff master monk but not the way it locks you out of style feats. Crane is amazingly powerful and not getting to use it because you'll never have a free hand is annoying. Dragon style would be a great fit except it explicitly only works on unarmed strikes, not the staff-working-like-unarmed that the staff master uses. So the only style feat chain the staff master gets to use is Shaitan, which...uh...yeah. :P

That's the thing, isn't it?

Monk unarmed is just so much better than anything a weapon could bring to the table.

I can sort of kind of see a very situational usecase for them early on to get past specific DR but usually you'll still do more damage to an early-game demon with a punch that doesn't bypass DR than a cold iron kama which does.

There are some really cool sais in game ( well at least i liked them) and if you just dip to monk it might be worth checking them.

like other than attack with them, or?

[Averagedog]

do starknives count? I felt obligated to play a kitsune bard azata dual wielding star knives and worshipped Desna with the Wrath of the Righteous

[Raikon]

You can get a lot of attacks with monk weapons. Especially dual wielding. Its not very effective now though with the elemental barrage changes/ genie kind changes.

[zaldaria]

my dm of my P&P game of DnD got around this by makeing a rule that all monk weapons as a monk count as unarmed

Doesn't turn them into monk weapons. So Flurry of Blows will not apply.

I remember the Nunchuk gave Lady Konomi a hard time choking on it, it corrected her unhealthy behavier of gain saying the Commander pretty fast.

To have an opinion about basically everything and letting everyone know about it was gone after a brief reminder about the former lessons with the Nunchuk and the Amount of "unwanted" Advice reduced signifivcantly without an aditional Reminder needed.

If you start seeing the worry in her eyes and putting more thought in the tone of her words then you are on the right trail.

Well She was of course still using her well trained tongue to lure a victim into her trap suggesting she got the ear of the Queen and what not...

I was surprised hearing about a personal training lesson with wenduag, apparantly konomi was able to choke on all Nunchuk Sticks after getting on Wendies S-List by suggesting wendy should shove the nunchuk into that spot where the sun never shines...but that was her last brief mistake after that she saw the truth in talking only if asked to and supporting the commanders opinion and Ideas.

Queen Galfrey asked the commander some time after that if i think i could help a certain
carefree Noble to be a a contributing member of society. The Commander always dutyful accepted the Mission and says how much joy it will bring to enlighten a derailed Aasimar.... at least for everyone else

[MattStriker]

...Dude, log off and take your meds.

I do wish we had three ringed broadsword or temple sword so I could run a crane style with a good weapon.
