I was looking at the monk weapons that a monk can use with a flurry of blows and I was curious about two things.
First: a sap is very similar in description to an eskrima stick (a potent martial art whose movements are the same for the stick as they are for unarmed or knife attacks) so why, though a monk can use a club, does a monk not have sap proficiencies?
Second: why was the sap not added to the list of weapons a monk can flurry with? It is a light weapon, and it is an interesting way to deal lots of non-lethal damage to an enemy.
I'm just wondering why that wasn't considered.
PS: why was the sap a martial weapon instead of a simple weapon? With a cost of zero, anyone can pick up a thin stick and whack someone with it.
