Monk Weapon Adept?


Rules Questions


What does Monk Weapon Adept give you the way its worded it sounds like i can select a weapon and treat it as a monk weapon.

I want my monk to be using a scimatar but i aslo want him to flurry of blows with it

You can flurry of blows with any monk weapon. Being as that the scimitar is now a monk weapon you can flurry with it.


Is that a rule change or the Weapon Adept that made the scimitar a monk weapon?

Thanks for the quick reply

I don't see anything in the Weapon Adept that allows you to change a non-monk weapon into a monk weapon. Which seems really strange to me.

I don't see anything that can be read that way. The only thing they get that has anything to do with a specific weapon, as opposed to all weapons, is
Quote:
Way of the Weapon Master (Ex): At 2nd level, a weapon adept gains Weapon Focus as a bonus feat with one of his monk weapons. At 6th level, the monk gains Weapon Specialization with the same weapon as a bonus feat, even if he does not meet the prerequisites. This ability replaces evasion.

That specifically references that it's only with monk weapons. So no scimitars.


I don't see where it says any of that under weapon adept. they get weopon focus and weapon specialization with any monk weapon. it says nothing about making non monk weapons monk weapons.


Ok thank you for answering me.

I had a build for a monk but it will not work without a scimitar.

A temple sword or kukri won't work?

Yeah, you're out of luck there. Your best bet would be to be a Monk of the Empty Hands and dual wield scimitars as improvised weapons (which the MoEH can flurry with). You get the flavor, but none of the properties of the scimitars themselves.
