On second thought, I'm just okay with saying no to monks and twf. Flurry mitigates their need for it.

I just posted about this elsewhere, but I would like to offer my interpretation. I read the line in question as, you can't make an off-hand attack with a monk's unarmed strike. TWF does apply with monk weapons, however, as when you are using a monk weapon, you are mot striking unarmed. So a first level flurrying monk can get 3 attacks if he has twf and his third attack is made with a weapon. He cannot get that 3rd attack with an unarmed strike.

I know I am necroing this thread, but I have valuable insight to add to this, specifically in regards to Monks.

Under normal circumstances, TWF can be used with unarmed strikes. Monks, however, are an exception do to the following statement in the writeup of the monk's unarmed strikes: There is no such thing as an off-hand attack for a monk striking unarmed.

So a monk benefits from twf only when using a monk weapon in the off-hand.

I'm currently playing a paladin with the enlightened Paladin Archetype and ran into this complication.
