Monk Weapons

[Adam]

How do you equip a torch as a monk and still make unarmed attacks? No matter which hand I put the torch in, it always attacks with it rather than making unarmed attacks.

Also, which weapons are monk weapons? None of the in-game descriptions let me know which weapons I can do flurry of blows or stunning fist with. I know how it works in tabletop, but I am not sure if the game follows along or not.

Highlight over monk proficiencies and it'll come up and tell you in there.

That tells you what monks are proficient in, not which weapons are monk weapons. Can I flurry with a spear, for example? In PF I can't, but in this I can't tell.

Definite monk weapons are: Kama, nunchaku, sais and quarterstaff. If you're going for a dual-wield build Knifemaster is a perfect fit with sais to take advantage of the d8 sneak attacks.

How do I check this? I tried to check with stunning fist availability, but it gets disabled if I equip _any_ weapon, be it quarterstaff, sai or kama.

Yep, my usual dwarf monk quarterstaff strength build with dragon style got screwed by the fact that no weapons seem to have the "monk" special quality that are supposed to have them. :|

Not to mention that the AC is calculated from the base value of the attribute, not the racial end value..so two bugs for my dwarf monk.
