Monk Weapon Proficiencies

[Exocrat]

The monk class states that the monk is proficient in the club, crossbow (light or heavy), dagger, handaxe, javelin, kama, nunchaku, quarterstaff, sai, shortspear, short sword, shuriken, siangham, sling, and spear.

With the introduction of the temple sword, brass knuckles, and cestus (and many more in UC), there are weapons with the property "monk" or in the monk weapon group that are not on this list.

Am I missing something? Is there somewhere where monks have been granted proficiency in the expanded list of monk weapons, or must they take feats to use each of the new weapons?

I have houseruled that they are automatically proficient in all monk weapons, but I'd like to see it written somewhere.

Why not simply read the weapon descriptions where they specifically state that the monk is proficient with this weapon?

Brass Knuckles say that, but temple sword and cestus do not. None of the new weapons coming say it either.

APG pg 179 Temple Sword last sentence:

Quote:

Monks are proficient with the temple sword.

Cestus page 176 and 178

Quote:

Monks are proficient with the cestus

Same with brass knuckles.

OK, thanks. I was looking at other versions of those weapons I guess.

No problem there is only about 3 versions of those weapons out currently (I think).
