I will stick with this...very straight forward.

Okay i'm going to break this down as simply as i can.

Here is the rules concerning Overcoming DR.

** spoiler omitted **

From this you can gather how to bypass DR.

1. Special Materials (Cold Iron, Adamantine, etc.)
2. Magic Weapons (any weapon with a +1 or higher enhancement bonus, not counting the enhancement from masterwork quality)
3. Certain types of weapons (Slashing, Piercing, etc.)
4. Weapons imbued with alignment (Good, Evil, etc.)

Here is the rule for Unarmed Strike from the Weapon table.

** spoiler omitted **

From this you can gather that an Unarmed Strike is a light weapon.

Here is the rules for the Amulet of Mighty Fists.

Apologies, didn't read it carefully.

So I am just trying to figure out the options for weapons that work with a Monk's Unarmed Strike Ability. The only three I know of are:

* Brass Knuckles (I think?)
Corrections were made, that they no longer trasmit the monk's own damage via a second medium. It will stay at D3 dmg plus natural strength bonus and others.
* Amulet of Mighty Fists (SO expensive!)
Yes, bloody expensive, but is the only item that will allow Wpn damage type effects to the Unarmed Attacks in general
* Bodywrap of Mighty Strikes (WHY do you take up the same slot at the monk robe and only work on the first attack!?)
There is no true worth in getting this item. Yes, one first attack only on the first part of the round. Second, you get extra 'attacks' for every 6 levels of the vocation.

Is there any others that work? And do Brass Knuckles still work?
