On page 154 under "Perfect Strike" "Benefits" the APG states, "Roll twice for unarmed strikes and take the better roll".
On page 166 under "Perfect Strike" the APG states, "You must use one of the following weapons to make the attack: kama, nunchaku, quarterstaff, sai, and siangham".
Which of these is right?
Also, on the same page (page 166), it states, "A monk may attempt an perfect strike a number of times per day..". Should that be, "A weapon master or zen archer may attempt an perfect strike a number of times per day.."?

First part:
The table of page 154 quickly and crudely sums up the feat. You always use the actual feat description (page 166). This needs errata and I will prod the FAQ button.
Second part:
Your quote is incomplete: "A monk may attempt an perfect strike a number of times per day equal to his monk level, plus one more time per day for every four levels he has in classes other than monk."
The feat has two special qualities. Number 1 (first level bonus feat for certain archetypes) is for weapon masters and zen archers. Number 2 (number of uses) is for multi-class monks with any or no archetype.
There is a mistake though: it should be 'a perfect' rather than 'an perfect'.

Other than that, thanks for the reply. However, how did you get that it applies to "multi-class monks"? I don't see the "multi-class" restriction. As I see it, the second part applies either to 1.) Weapon Masters and Zen Archers or 2.) Monks (whether or not they are multi-classed).
Already marked for FAQ in previous threads.
IMO It doesn't apply to unarmed strikes, looks like the feat is just meant to make armed monks useful.
Anyone that meets the prerequisites can use the feat, usually Monks.
Note that some new and old "monk" weapons are not listed as weapons that can use Perfect Strike, which may be another error.
