Weapon and Armor Proficiency
"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. "
So if a character took Weapon Focus, Weapon Specialization, Improved Critical: Quarterstaff would all two-handed improvised weapons wielded by the character gain the effects? Could this character take Quarterstaff Master-Tripping Staff- Twirling Staff and apply it to all 2h weapons?
There's a faq somewhere that talks about 'functions as' and 'treated as' regarding weapons, but I'm going to take a nap instead of linking it.
hmmm ok well Im not sure how to interpret things based on your response... Thanks anyways though.
I think I would go the opposite route and take the feats in improvised weapons. I would probably count each size as a different set of feats.
