Hi Guys
The monks special weapon the Kama. Does this weapon increase in damage for the monk as his unarmed attacks does?
I Guy said to me on a inet server that a monk should use 2 weapons, instead of his unarmed attacks, because he will get one extra attack. Why? The monks unarmed attack's damage raise with the lvl to a astounding 1d20 per attack. Does the ekstra attack with a weapon - 1d4 -- 1d8 - really do better then unarmed?
I am puzzled )
Monk question
1.) No the Monks unarmed damage does not increase the Kama damage. You only get uoarmed damage when fighting bare-handed or wearing gloves.
2.) Yes wielding two Kamas does increase the Monks attacks indeed, but also imposes a considerable penalty to hit. So if you plan on doing so, you should take the Feats Ambidexterity and Two-Weapon-Fighting. Even then you get -2 to hit on ALL attacks, which stacks with flurry of blows to -4. If you don't want that, stick to FoB only, which you can use even with a single kama.

Well the REAL reason people use two kamas is for the 10 attack per round exploit, otherwise fist are superior....at least for 1.62 as currently Attack Bonus gloves also count for damage reduction penetration.
