Monk of the Empty Hand improvised weapon / weapon finesse

[Jeff Clem]

Monks of the empty hand are proficient with the shuriken only. A monk of the empty hand treats normal weapons as improvised weapons with the following equivalencies (substituting all of their statistics for the listed weapon): a light weapon functions as a light hammer, a one-handed weapon functions as a club, and a Two-handed weapon functions as a quarterstaff.

My question.
If I use a light weapon which is equivalent to a light hammer can I use weapon finesse even though it's considered an improvised weapon?

[Archaeik]

It's still considered a weapon, and it's still considered light, I don't see any issue here.

I don't think the status of the original weapon matters. Your currently treating it as a light hammer. So finesse applies.

Hmm. Could one, not a MotEH, use Weapon Finesse with improvised weapons?

[Mojorat]

I think so. It says to compare the item to size and weight of an existing weapon. Basically.. a chair leg is treated siilsy to s club and a shard of glass a dagger.

So looks like the glass I'd treated like s light weapon.

Well, we still don't know if one can threaten with an improvised weapon.
