Question. Would Ascetic style functionally give a rogue with finesse training (unarmed strike) the ability to wield a monk weapon as though it was both finesseable AND add dex to damage.
If said rogue had 5 levels of monk (or weapon training (monk)), would they be able to apply dex to hit and damage with any Monk weapon?
Here is the wording-
Choose one weapon from the monk fighter weapon group. While using this style and wielding the chosen weapon, you can apply the effects of feats that have Improved Unarmed Strike as a prerequisite, as well as effects that augment an unarmed strike, as if attacks with the weapon were unarmed attacks.
Special: A 5th-level monk or character with the weapon training (monk) class feature can use Ascetic Style with any monk weapon, in addition to the chosen melee weapon.
As written, probably. The developer has since admitted the text is a big mistake. The intention was for it to only apply to feats that augment unarmed strikes and not other sources of effects.
