Can a monk perform any combat maneuvers with his hands full?


Rules Questions


The monk's Unarmed Strike class feature entry states that a monk may make unarmed strikes with hands, elbows, knees, or feet. Does this ability extend to combat maneuvers in any capacity? Would a monk with his hands bound be able to, say, make a trip attempt, or are combat maneuvers simply out of the question?


Yes, you can do any combat maneuver, although grappling would be at -4:
